KGP Design Studio shared with us their entry for the Bankside Bikeshed Competition. The competition asked for a modular, portable and secure cycle parking solution in downtown London on behalf of the Better Bankside Business Improvement District (BID). The issue of cycle parking has been high on the agenda of Better Bankside for the last few years. Discussion with member businesses has highlighted the problem of finding space for cycle parking, particularly when premises are leased or in older buildings. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Commercial activity acts as the primary enabling impetus for any urban evolution while the community at large receives many of the benefits. Any successful business strategy contains the means to grow and self-replicate; in business terms, marketing and connecting with the community at large. Pedal Park is the progenitor, through its dual persona, of the task of parking as well as providing the medium for promoting its mission of sustainability to the surrounding community.
