Renata invited Pete Manfield to run a workshop and a lecture at the school 4 years ago about 'Shelter' for the Whole School Event (the theme was 'whatever the WEATHER...) Pete Manfield and Tom Corsellis used to work together on Sheffield Centre in Cambridge. She met Tom earlier this summer and through talks about our Live Projects here at Sheffield. Tom made references to last year’s URINE project http://www.01liveproject07.wordpress.com. This led to a possibility of submitting a proposal and hold and behold Shelter Centre was selected as live project number eleven, chosen from a short list of 20 by staff at the department. This concept of Live Project is very different to past and current running live projects.
It was an “unknown territory and different dimension to the others” as Renata describes it. Shelter Centre did not know for sure that the proposal will be selected so at the start of the project (at this stage), we can interpret the brief to suit us but we should have consultations with the client in order to keep the point of the project in focus. We should strongly consider negotiating with the client what the objectives of the project are and also and challenge the original brief.
