CYCLIST HOUSE
ONE DRAWING COMPETITION
SUMMARY
BRIEF IN SHORT:
In this competition, we challenge participants to propose innovative housing solutions not only to accommodate cyclists, but actively promote and celebrate the cycling lifestyle – only 1 drawing, with absolute freedom of scale, site or program.
This competition aims to reshape conventional home design thinking and contributing to healthier, more sustainable lifestyle choices related to cycling.
Participants are encouraged to think of cycling to be more than just a mode of transportation, to be a lifestyle. Consider factors like storage solutions, ease of access, safety, and how the design can encourage non-cyclists to adopt this lifestyle. Reflect upon materials and technological integrations that could further promote the ethos of a cycling-focused habitat.
How can homes be designed to encourage and facilitate cycling as an integral part of daily life? How can architectural innovation and design aesthetics come together to create a space that promotes cycling as an integral part of daily living, fostering a strong connection between residents and their environment?
