Today designbridge gave their final Studio Presentation on the three projects they are working on through the Architecture Dept. at the University of Oregon.The one we're most excited about of course is the Green Wheel project for a new bike shelter at Roosevelt. We've been through some great
design charrettes, various design meetings, and discussions of budgets but the large chunk of work has taken place in their studio sessions where they have created some amazing models, worked out different
aspects of the design, drawn up some beautiful representations of the project, and created really great visuals to explain the overall vision of the project.
Each time we see more growth in the design it is an exciting advancement from where we were before and today's highlights of the new bench seating (and post/beam mock-up), a "rough draft" of a bike rack made from the old wheel bender racks, and the overall design is no exception.
The next step is to finalize permitting and come spring start in on the building!
The designbridge team has done a great job adapting to their clients needs (that us!) and the current plan to build in three phases still hinges
on finalizing some of the budget issues but with
the amount of energy and professionalism they
have brought to the project so far I have no doubt that some amazing things will happen this Spring!
The Green Wheel team has their own great blog here.
