Reinventing the Bike Shed – Designs on Cycling in the City (2006), The Arches, Tooley Street.
Curators: Gamman, L. and Thorpe, A.
RTBS was staged during Architecture Week as part of the London Architectural Biennale in June 2006 before the Bikeoff 2nd externally funded project started. It was shown the Arches at Tooley Street; (and was re- presented in the Innovation Centre Gallery, in 2007). The exhibition, curated by Adam Thorpe of Bikeoff, was the first to address cycle theft, cycle security and cycle parking, with a focus on the role design can play in reducing cycle theft and increasing cycle use. The exhibition provided a forum for stakeholder seminars addressing these issues and launched an international design competition in collaboration with Blueprint magazine and Fielden Clegg Bradley Architects, and catalyzed work from other designers, who entered the competition. Judges of this work included Adam Thorpe, Wayne Hemmingway and Jon Snow. Full details of the exhibition can be found on www.reinventingthebikeshed.com.
