Young Swedish Firm Designs Bike Palace for Philadelphia

via Treehugger.com

The hot young Swedish firm We Are You came third in a competition to design a new bicycling center in Philadelphia. (They must be really young- entry criteria include only those who graduated later than 2007). Its mission: "to promote bicycling in all its forms, and become a social hotspot for bike commuters, messengers, biking tourists and racers."


The façade is made of the bikes themselves, "properly displayed to mark the site in the city and encourage more people to use the iron horse as a means of daily transportation."
