|
| THE PASADENA BIKE TRANSIT CENTER was designed as an intimate enclosure for both man and machine. Located across from Memorial Park Station in Pasadena, it is a prototype for future locations along the MTA Gold Line. The design integrates bike racks and enclosure through a series of interwoven ribbons of steel creating a fluid and organic pattern, denser for security below and looser above. Clear and colored polycarbonate panels shield users from inclement weather while allowing ventilation and visibility. Photovoltaic panels, seamlessly integrated with the form, provide energy for lighting and secured sliding entry doors. Computer controlled bending machines efficiently produce the repetitive curves for a sturdy, light-weight, easily-transportable and cost-effective structure. Conceived as a large piece of urban street furniture, its 5’ bays or modules, capable of housing 4 bikes, can be bolted onto a slab without footings, allowing the structure to expand or contract according to user needs. |
