Located at the corner of Newbury Street and Dartmouth Street, the site is positioned in an area highly influenced by the arts. Travel a block in either direction and you will stroll past a series of art galleries, photography shops, picture framing shops and street vendors selling anything from local paintings to African sculptures. With such an art influenced area, I wanted to capture this idea when designing the building and capture elements such as display cases, a large open ground floor to allow for street vendors or performances, movement of the eye and an all around people friendly building that interacts with such a diverse area.

My inspiration for the bicycle pavilion project came from the comparison of city structure and organization, like Chicago, which is organized on a grid-like axis, and Cambridge, which is organized on a more angular and irregular axis, but still comprised of some grid-like organization. From this came the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid, which starts as a grid and then gets torqued into different directions to make a new geometry all while maintaining the grid-like qualities. The overall form of my bicycle pavilion looked at circulation through the site and setting up a hierarchy of entry and exit points, which in the end created it’s final geometry to function as a bicycle pavilion.

Highly influenced by the art of rowing, the main concept was to translate the characteristics of how the shell acts, functions and behaves on the water into a functional building form that acts, functions and behaves on the land. Some characteristics include, the way the shell floats, cuts through, displaces and creates a rippling effect in the water as the shell moves through it. Translating this into a building, the center mass, which acts as an event space as observation space, cuts through and displaces the other two main program areas, and creates the rippling effect of the glazing along the facade along with other similar features.
