Project run with MA Industrial Design (Course Director: Ben Hughes), Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and created by Lorraine Gamman and Adam Thorpe.
Students were asked to research and document a visual narrative relating to issues of secure cycle ‘parking’ and storage in the home and to create proposals for a cycle parking/storage facility suitable for the types of dwelling common in London. This had to address the needs of cyclists, but also the relevant health and safety and usability aspects.
The brief can be downloaded from the domestic bliss website

Project run with MA Industrial Design students at Central Saint Martins (Course Director: Ben Hughes). The project was created by Gamman and Thorpe, the students were asked to research and document a visual narrative relating to issues of crime in and around cycle parking and storage facilities and to create proposals for a secure cycle parking facility to be located in the Southampton Row / Theobald’s Road site. Solutions could have been high-tech or lo-fi, depending on designers strengths, aspirations, and understanding of the problems. This project is about addressing the needs of cyclists and the behaviour of cycle thieves in the context of the College, and the Holborn Gateway area of the City. The aim was to design a functional, attractive and secure bicycle parking facility in this area.
On the subject of loving your bike – this Sunday you can go down to the Design Museum on London’s South Bank and publicly declare your love for your ride. Cyclists will be filmed saying why they love their bikes. Design Museum, London, Sunday 8th July, 2007 http://www.designmuseum.org/talks.
Bikeoff did something similar on Valentines day earlier this year – see some of the results of ‘I love my bike because…’here.
