Sheffield Collections is an evolving hub of resources developed by academic and research staff at SSoA. These resources are 'bottom up' initiatives often with their own web sites where blogs and other media are used to facilitate sharing and exchange.

  • AHE The Augustine House Experiment (AHE)
    The AHE site hosts a collection of X3D models developed from a synthesis of the weCAMP and iBorrow projects showing how the iBorrow netbooks tracking data can be visualised in it architectural context.
  • ATLAS ATLAS
    An evolving resource includes contributions from leading climate scientists, journalists, artists and academics interested in critical and cultural thinking on global environmental change.
  • evolve EVOLVE
    Developed by the University of Sheffield, with PSSRU, University of Kent and supported by the Housing LIN, EVOLVE is a tool for evaluating the design of housing for older people.
  • field field:journal
    field: is a free journal for the discussion of critical, theoretical, political and playful perspectives on all aspects of architecture. field: is an international peer-reviewed journal and an open electronic forum.
  • flexible housing Flexible Housing
    Flexible Housing is one of the outcomes of an AHRC funded research project. The website compiles almost 200 examples of flexible design.
  • HEAR The Healthcare Environment Architectural Reference (HEAR)
    HEAR hosts over 600 research papers which form the evidence database on which healthcare design tools such as AEDET Evolution, ASPECT, IDEAs and Activity Database are based.
  • imagine Imagine
    Imagine is a database which captures school design best practice from around the world. This resource is aimed at providing inspiration for creating innovative teaching and learning environments.
  • Perspective Perspective Resources
    Perspective resources provides step by step instructions on how to draw perspectives, an historical background to the subject, as well as reading material, videos, links and a regularly updated blog.
  • SDI School Design Involvement (SDI)
    Funded by the EPSRC, the SDI site hosts effective approaches to school community involvement in the school design and procurement process.
  • Spatial Agency Spatial Agency
    Spatial Agency is a project that presents a new way of looking at how buildings and space can be produced. It is an evolving resource of other ways of doing architecture.
  • SUCoD Sheffield Urban Contextual Databank (SUCoD)
    Funded by the AHRC, SCUoD is a web application developed to host 3D digital models of historical City of Sheffield. The 3D historical city models in VRML were based on the Sheffield 1900 Urban Study project.
  • ucampus weCAMP::uCampus 1.1
    Funded by JISC Institutioinal Innovation Programme, uCampus 1.1 is a web application developed to support interactive 3D modelling of the TUOS campus.
