Young Architects Forum (yaf) is holding a design competition for a bike shelter/container to be constructed at union station. The group is a local chapter of a national organization and is interested in focusing young talent in the state towards alternative forms of transportation.

The bike shelter itself will be a small structure (8′x16′) with a sole program of locking bikes and a flexible capacity to be taken apart, moved, and reassembled throughout the downtown area. The shelter is intended to be architecturally and aesthetically interesting and a more accessible alternative to the public than the current bike storage lockers.

The competition comes to a close later this week with a catered party at TAXI (see flier below) on April 14th to announce and display the winning entries. It would be a great opportunity for you to come and see first hand the different entries and enjoy a free cocktail. At that point yaf will be working with the city and RTD to realize its construction.

Here’s the location…
