The Golden Frame is a mobile floating viewing frame that is designed for use along the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal

摘要

The Golden Frame derives its poetic name from the 19th-century colloquial description of Sheffield as 'a dirty picture in a Golden Frame', at a time when the fires of industry mired the landscape. In the 21st century, the Golden Frame would act as a viewing frame, encouraging users to perceive their surroundings in a fresh context. The structure would be mounted on a pontoon system with the frame hoisted up on fibreglass masts, supported by wire rigging. This would allow for the masts to be lowered and the pontoon to pass easily under canal bridges as it moves along the waterway.
