Bike Racks as Public Art
No Comments
functional public art / bike racks for community / the x marks the spot.
The first results of senseofplace LAB’s community-specific functional public art contest for the San Francisco Bike Coalition. The panel chose the winners based on how well the rack reflected the unique character of Treasure Island, whether it was functional as a bike rack and whether or not it activated public space. The bike rack above is one of three chosen designs that have recently been fabricated.
