The Cooperative Bike Parking

TYPE 1: SOCIAL IN THE CORE
  • The centrality of the space gives it importance and connection to all around it.
  • The daylight makes it a comfortable place to work on a bike.
  • The bike pooling can bring a new dimension of interaction to the community.
  • The bikes would be the community’s property and they will have to organize on their own to take care of them.
  • The space is used efficiently by parking the bikes vertically.
  • The usually empty space during the day is becoming lively.
  • The visual connection to the entrance in the “In the building” case emphasizes the connection between the different social spaces.
  • The workshop and the storage are one unique space that facilitates the spontaneous interactions without borders in the “In the building” case.
TYPE 2: TANGENT TO THE BIKE STORAGE
  • The people have to pass the social space before parking no matter which entrance they took. It increases the chance for interaction.
  • The daylight makes it a comfortable place to work on a bike.
  • The bike pooling can bring a new dimension of interaction to the community.
  • The bikes would be the community’s property.
  • The space is used efficiently by parking the bikes vertically.
  • The usually empty space during the day is becoming lively.
  • The visual connection to the entrance is stronger with the workshop facing the entrance in the “In the building” case.
  • The workshop and the storage are one unique space that facilitates the spontaneous interactions without borders in the “In the building” case.
