Thomas Heatherwick Studio collaborated with a team of Newcastle City Council’s design professionals to design the first new square in Newcastle in 100 years. Heatherwick’s ‘blue carpet’ concept unified the disparate architectural elements of the square and integrated street furniture, a new kind of fibre optic lighting, a new public staircase and mature trees. New materials and new technical solutions for the paving surface and other elements were researched through partnerships formed with manufacturers, craftspeople and academics.

Persistence Works is a new-build artists’ studio complex in Sheffield designed by an artist-architect collaboration. Yorkshire ArtSpace, the client, wanted to keep its base in the city’s Cultural Industries Quarter with a practical and functional landmark building to provide sustainable studios for its artist members. Artist Brett Payne was appointed to work on the design team, helping to write the design brief, select architects, Feilden Clegg Bradley, and steer seven other artists’ commissions integrated into the fabric of the building.
