INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE STUDIO
The El Bike Lanes
In 2017 New York Magazine commissioned us, along with leading architects including Diller, Scofidio + Renfro, Foster + Partners, and Raphael Vinoly to speculate on visionary projects for the future of New York City. Here is the text from our ironic proposal:
Robert Moses Revival: The El Bike Lanes
This time though it's about bicycles..
To save pedestrians from the fierce bicycle swarms that run through the city we propose a bicycle highway that will turn the popular "Summer Street" program into a permanent feast for the cyclist.
An elevated track, installed high over the Park Avenue green strip, will connect 72nd street on Central Park all the way down to Governor's Island. City Bikes rental stations will be available along the track at major intersections and will gift the cyclist the joy of continuous riding without stops in the heart of Manhattan.
