Building Information

Location: Sheffield, England
Architect: Jack Lynn & Ivor Smith under J.L. Womersley
Completed: 1961
Status: Grade II Listed
Brief Overview:  Park Hill is a housing estate in Sheffield, England,  and was built between 1957 and 1961.  The design was heavily influenced by Corbusier's Unite d'Habitation  and some of the Smithson's unbuilt work- and intended to be an improvement to the conditions the site incurred during the 1930's with the back to back and 2-3 storey tenement buildings.  Park Hill itself though was not without it's problems, but was controversially Listed in 1998 making it the largest Listed building in Europe.  Currently the Estate is being renovated by Urban Splash in partnership with English Heritage.    There is a long list of cultural references for Park Hill- as it features heavily in film and music- from references by musicians Pulp and Yungblood, to appearing in music videos by the Artic Monkeys, and TV shows like Dr Who.  Park Hill even has it's own musical- Standing at the Sky's Edge by Richard Hawley.
 

My Risograph Prints

I often go hunting for Brutalist buildings and photograph them wherever I can get to them — car parks, bus stations, university towers, housing estates. Some of the ones in this collection have already been demolished.

 Photographing them is how I collect them; printing them is how I share them.

I think Risograph suits concrete. It's a stencil process: soy-based ink pushed through a drum one layer at a time, soaking into the paper rather than sitting on top of it in a glossy film. You get grain, texture and gorgeous matte blacks, and small variations from one print to the next that mean no two are quite identical. I think this makes it look and feel more like concrete.

Every print is produced with an independent artisan printer here in the UK, on 170gsm Munken Pure Rough Premium paper. The soy-based inks replace petroleum ones — lower in solvents, easier to recycle — and the press needs no heat to fuse them, so it draws a fraction of the power of a laser machine. This makes all of my prints affordable and eco-friendly.

Park Hill Risograph Print — Bridge Close Up

Streets in the sky — the phrase was always either a promise or an insult, depending on who you asked. This risograph print of Park Hill goes in close under one of the deck access bridges and looks up, so the frame fills with the concrete ribs that made those streets possible. It's the detail you only notice when you're standing beneath it. Printed A3 in black and white on heavy textured paper, black riso ink in the shadows and the paper showing through where the light hits. Sheffield Brutalism, photographed by someone who keeps going back. A3 wall art for anyone who lived on the hill, moved back into it, or argues about it in the pub — and a thoughtful gift for an architect who knows exactly why it matters.
