The site analysis portion was completed as a class, but the design process was completed individually. This design showcased the various ways that aluminum can be used to connect the biking community and the beer community through abstract bike chains and oversized aluminum cans. Due to the taller buildings surrounding the site, lighting was essential. Sustainable design elements led the way in this fun and artistic plan, incorporating the required storage for 80 bicycles.
