Hakkımda:
COOLING THE TOWERS is our project to turn the disused cooling towers next to Meadowhall, Sheffield into new symbols for the city.
At the moment, the towers are landmarks. But they represent what Sheffield was: grey, dead, post-industrial. We want to reuse them, turn them into a massive work of public art, so they represent what Sheffield IS: creative, green, friendly.
They could be our icon. They could change the way people think about our city. They could be heroes.
SHEFFIELD FOREVER X

Hello.
As you're probably aware, Eon are preparing to demolish the towers. This is despite all the work that everyone has done on trying to convince them that the towers should be reused as spaces for public art. This is a bit of a tragedy in our opinion, and a massive waste.
Someone quipped recently that Sheffield never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. We think they're spot on.
It doesn't appear that there's much we can do. Eon are adamant that the towers have to come down, and have been unwilling to consider anything else all along. Nothing that we have done has changed that. The council haven't got the ambition or vision to see that these towers could be icons, that they could attract millions of people. Unless there's some sort of divine intervention, then, it looks like the cooling towers will disappear.
However, our efforts haven't been entirely in vain. Eon have stumped up £500 000 for a replacement piece of art on the site, thanks to people like you pestering them, signing petitions, and getting involved. We've been thinking long and hard about whether we can be involved in the process of coming up with a replacement piece of art. But the thought of Eon and the City Council coming up with art on their own (a massive steel fork? a massive steel football?) is quite frankly terrifying.
We're willing to work with Eon and the Council, on the conditions listed in our blog above. Have a look.
We've given Eon the opportunity to work together on something positive and amazing for the city. We'll now wait to see if they take that chance.
Thanks. We'll miss the towers very much. We wish Sheffield could do something amazing, for once. But we will see.
