The proposed design seeks to create a sustainable and cyclist-friendly city, emphasizing key features like bicycle storage, cycling paths, bicycle transmission paths, and water refill stations.

Bicycle storage facilities are strategically positioned on the ground level, allowing cyclists to easily store their bikes and maintain a tidy cityscape. This not only frees up space but also encourages more people to adopt cycling as a mode of transportation. Additionally, bicycle transmission paths enable bikes to be delivered directly to cyclists’ homes, enhancing convenience and accessibility.

Cycling paths are thoughtfully integrated throughout the city, offering safe and dedicated routes for cyclists. By incorporating these paths into the urban fabric, the design promotes the use of bicycles while minimizing conflicts with other vehicles. This encourages a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.

To support cyclists on their journeys, water refill stations are strategically located across the city. These stations provide accessible and clean water, reducing the reliance on single-use plastic bottles and promoting environmental sustainability.

By incorporating these elements, the design fosters a city that embraces cycling as a preferred mode of transportation. This not only promotes physical activity and well-being but also reduces carbon emissions and traffic congestion.

Jury Comments

• Elina Kritikou | EKKY STUDIO

The concept of a sustainable cyclist city with the water refill stations was a nice initiative. I would expect to see this concept with a stronger interpretation into the design. Well Done.

• Patrick Meijers | Orange Architects

OK idea but to generic.
