Portland Works: Cold Spots Report March 2014

INTRODUCTION:

This report pulls together a number of diverse surveys, studies and investigations produced for Portland Works over the previous couple of years. It gives an overview of the information that already exists, comments on what has been learnt so far and identifies areas where there are gaps or unknowns. It also uses this existing information, together with new work and research, to suggest how Portland Works might develop to maintain its character as a lively, creative and innovative hub, based in a much-loved historic building in the heart of Sheffield. This report is a snapshot, bringing the mass of data collected so far into focus, rather than a guidebook explaining what to do next. We hope it will act as a prompt, and provide information and tools that will assist Portland Works in the planning of future works, funding bids and programmes, in a graphically accessible manner. To this end, a number of the documents presented in this report are ‘live’; that is to say they are spreadsheets or documents that can be added to or adapted to suit the changing circumstances or requirements of the Works. Each section includes discussion of key ideas and a description of the diagrams and drawings produced. Related visual information is cross referenced in this text using the arrow symbol (see below an example for the ‘Cold Spots Document Map’). In many cases a graphic explaining how the diagrams can be used is also included at the end of each section. The Cold Spots Document Map shows how each document produced for this report relates to previous studies and future decision making.

Both Zoe and Kathryn were of the opinion that an understanding of what aspects of the Works were of value was crucial. Although it is primarily the arrangement of buildings around the courtyard, and layout of spaces that relate to their use in cutlery and tool manufacture, that is noted in the listing text, certain internal features are of value. English Heritage’s “Planning for the Historic Environment Practice Guide “PPS5, also outlines recommendations for Local Authorities when dealing with Heritage Assets. Policy HE6.1 in particular outlines the need to “understand the nature of the significance of the asset.. the extent of the fabric that holds this interest.. and the level of interest”.

This report was to pull together all the previous research and gazetteer information to provide a summary and interpretation of the history, development and significance of the site and its built fabric. Consultation Meetings. Wessex were to meet key stakeholders (tenants, steering groups etc) to discuss the findings of their report, key risks, opportunities and future issues.

Both a Conservation Management Plan and Statement of Significance will therefore play a vital role in informing the future of the Works, and to this end Studio Polpo approached three locally based heritage consultants with experience of Sheffield metal-trades buildings to quote for the preparation of the initial stages of a Conservation Management Plan.

The Portland Works FLAG group (Finance, Legal and Governance) decided that when considering new tenants, preference should be given to metal trades. It has been agreed that metal trades should make up to 50% of the tenancy of the Works. (Whether this is defined by the number of businesses or by floor area is to be confirmed.) 34B-2

This diagram identifies the spaces currently used by metal trades at Portland Works to give an indication of the current proportion of these.

30D

Areas identified as ‘Potential Metal Trades’ on this diagram are simply those that at the time of writing are empty, and it should of course be borne in mind that the activities classed as ‘Existing Metal Trades’ and future metal trades tenants vary significantly from fairly heavy duty (forging for example) to small scale and delicate (such as jewellers). The nature of the activity will therefore determine the appropriate location and size of space. For example activities requiring large or heavy equipment or material deliveries would be best suited to the Ground Floor whereas lighterweight, more sedentary activities would be beter suited to upper floors.

Heritage Significance Diagrams

The conservation management plan contains a lot of information about the historic activities within of Portland Works and remaining significant features. Some of this information has been represented graphically, so that Heritage considerations can be understood alongside architectural, tenant and environmental interests. The following drawings have been produced:

Knife Making Process

Room Significance

Significant Elements

The Knife Making Process drawing describes how stainless steel knives were produced and maps this process onto the spaces in the Works. The Room Significance Drawing uses the conservation management plans grading system to show the relative significance of whole spaces within the Works. The Significant Elements drawing uses the conservation management plan gazetteer to highlight the individual architectural elements and features that are of most heritage significance.

The intention here is not to glamorise reckless modifications, but rather value the relationships and juxtapositions that tell interesting stories about the Works’ history. These are at risk of being lost since the improvised changes that facilitated them are often considered detrimental to the Works as a whole. By acknowledging and legitimising ‘wild histories’ of Portland Works - in addition to more conservative and conventional ones – a richer, multi-layered and dynamic understanding of the building can be created.

with new information in the future.

This sheet can used to plan future funding bids, or the allocation of budgets for building works. (The third sheet demonstrates an example of this). The second sheet (Vision Plan Graphic 2) displays tenancy data for the Works. It brings together tenant (individual or business) names, location in block and floor terms, unit size and rental income from the unit. This graphic also gives an indication of the nature of the work being done in the unit, from heavy duty (welding, motor-winding) to studio (art/ music) use, to give an idea of how these uses are spread between floors and blocks. The information on this sheet can be used to understand what thermal or acoustic upgrade measures may be best suited to existing spaces, where there are under-used spaces, and potential locations for new uses.

This chart shows how tenants are distributed throughout the works, by block and by floor, the way in which they use their spaces (i.e. music studio, or heavy workshop such as the forge) and the rental income from the spaces. By giving an overview of the distribution of different types of space, but also which spaces may be under- or over-valued, decisions can be made as to the location of new tenants, or changed rental strategies over time.

These can inform the planning of new, or shared spaces in terms of their use and location. In particular, any new spaces that are to act as public interfaces, or shared meeting/exhibition spaces may have different uses at different times. These might depend on access to tenants who are makers (and therefore not around at certain times) or require both quiet and evening availability for meetings (and therefore not work well next to band spaces) for example. The diagrams shown here display typical tenant occupancy for a 24hr period on weekdays and weekends, as well as showing this occupancy linked to location to give a sense where the building is quiet or underused. Tenants are, again, broadly distinguished by their work (makers, artists and musicians).

Relocation Proposals

67.

Portland Works Relocation be able to move into currently empty spaces with a minimum of disruption due to the nature of their business (typically musicians and artists with lighter/more portable equipment). This would allow the full refurbishment and upgrade of their current spaces without requiring tenants to leave the works. Tenants with large or heavy equipment (metal workers and joiners for example) would be very unlikley to be able to move temporarily without disruption to their business activities In many instances, these moves could be permanent as spaces are of a similar size and character.

public. The Works should be able to generate an income from spaces that can be put towards the running of the site, and it is important that spaces are not created that sit empty for most of the time. The diagrams, produced as part of the mapping element of the report, start to identify possibilities for multi-, or shared-use spaces. An example of this might be an area that is used for meetings (in-house or bookable by the community) in the evenings, has display material on the walls and is open on weekends, and is used as hot-desking low-impact workspace, or the building manager by day.

Some version of this model could suit Portland Works, and become an interface for public interaction with designers and makers based on site, as well as resource for tenants to use, with techniques and technologies that may compliment their own, allow for them to innovate, and strengthen the Works as a place of making. We have explored a number of scenarios that examine different models of access, benefits and knowledge exchange (FabLab strategies).

What is a Fab-Lab

Fab-Labs are generally equipped with computer operated equipment such as laser cutters, CNC routers and 3D printers. (This equipment is sometimes referred to a digital fabrication/ prototyping). Fab Labs provide a viable way for individuals or organisations to intermittently access this type of equipment.

Drop-In Access:

Membership:

Drop in access suites people who have knowledge about using machienery and are using the fab lab as a viable way of accessing workshop space and equipment. It provides one off access to the workshop for a fixed time and cost. The existing skills at Portland works and potential peer to peer learning may not be important for these users. Drop in sessions could be used to allow infrequent access to hand operated machines or digital fabrication.

For more frequent users a membership system might be more appropriate. As well as providing the ability to use the equipment more frequently a network of regular users could establish a peer to peer learning culture at the FabLab.

Local Business Access

Local Business Access:

Existing Tenant Access:

As well at targeting individuals the services provided as a fab lab could appeal to small businesses in Sheffield. The Wavelab precedent demonstrates how small start up businesses in Sheffield can benefit from access to fabrication facilities. Business access could be agrred on a drop-in or membership arrangement.

It is important not to neglect the benefit that a fab lab could bring to the existing tenants at Portland Works. It could provide workshop space and equipment that would otherwise not be viable for them to purchase. Digital fabrication could allow tenants to experiment with manufacturing processes that are unfamiliar to them and continue a culture of innovation.

Tenant Collaborations:

Formal Teaching:

The fab lab could be used to continue peer to peer learning and collaborations between tenants at the works. This is already takes place informally and the provision of shared workshop space could only serve to encourage this. A fab lab could foster collaborations between artists and manufacturing at the works.

Alongside informal peer to peer learning and collaboration a fablab space could be used for slightly more formal teaching/ workshops. These could involve the tenants or invited guests with experience of digital fabrication.

Links with Universities:

Graduate Start Up:

Links could be made between universities and the fab lab. The diagrams in the previos section show how two course structures would benefit from this. This type of relationship could involve tenants to a greater or lesser degree.

A fab lab could be used to establish start up enterprises. These could work with university based graduate schemes. This type of activity and ambition could attract different sources of funding that have not been tapped into already.

Establishing a mechanism for producing

information and guidelines for contractors, forms of agreement and contracts, and CDM/Health & Safety policy for the Works that can cover anything from small jobs and repairs to large scale contracts.

Laser Cutter - A4 Desktop

Laser Cutter - A1

Description:

Laser cutters can be used to cut and engrave a wide variety of material including thin plywood, mdf and Perspex. The maximum material sheet size that can be cut depends on the size of the laser cutter bed. This ranges from a4 to a1+. In addition to the laser cutting machine extract pipes and ventilation pumps are required to remove smoke from the machine.

The laser cutter shown on this factsheet is the Epilog Legend 36EXT. This model was used to make the Portland Works model.

The laser cutter shown on this factsheet is the HPC Laser LS3020 pro

Description:

There is a large variety of 3D printers available. These can vary in size from a small desktop printer to a large machine requiring a whole room. There are also different technologies available. The simplest 3d printers, such as the one shown on this factsheet, construct objects by melting and layering up plastic material. No extract is required.

More sophisticated and larger 3D printer machines are powder based. These can make more detailed and complicated designs. The 3D printer shown here is restricted to white models, but some powder based machines can print in full multicolour. The 3D printer shown on this factsheet is the zprinter 350

CNC Machine Description: CNC machines combines the cutting power of drills and routers with the accuracy of computer control. They can be used to cut much thicker material than laser cutters and tend to have a much larger cutting bed. They create a dusty and noisy space and require an extract. Since they are used to fabricate large furniture etc, space for material storage and product assembling needs to be considered.
