Urban Bicycle Station: The future of urban transportation, public health, and environmental conserving requires cities to encourage their populations to shift to alternative modes of transportation, with the bicycle offering a leading option.

This year's Young Architects Competition challenges each candidate to address these paramount needs through the design of an urban bicycle station near Market Square in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Some key issues to consider are: -Links between sustainability, transportation,and a healthy lifestyle. -The relationship between infrastructure,civic space, and public life. -Movement, speed, cycling, and the urban experience. -Bike culture, the desire to celebrate cycling, and the bike itself as an elegant and efficient machine. -The relationship between a fixed site and a prototypical structure.
