開催概要

ニューヨーク市交通局が、Cooper-Hewitt美術館、Google社、Transportation Alternatives（自転車､歩行者､公共交通の環境改善を求める非営利団体）と協同で、ニョーヨーク市の新しい自転車駐輪場のデザインを募集。最優秀賞案の知的所有権は、$10,000で市に買い取られる。

Description
The purpose of the competition is to develop functional, well-designed sidewalk racks and to generate new concepts for bicycle parking inside commercial and residential buildings. These two initiatives, in addition to NYCDOT’s commitment to increasing the number of miles of bicycle facilities, providing the City’s first sheltered bike parking stations and creating more bicycle parking at transit stations, will raise the profile of bicycling as a convenient mode of transportation in New York.

Jury
Patricia E. Harris (First Deputy Mayor, New York City)
Janette Sadik-Khan (Commissioner, New York City Department of Transportation)
Ellen Lupton(Curator Contemporary Design, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum)
Google (Representative (TBA))
David Byrne (Musician, Artist, Cyclist)
Steve Madden (Editor-in-Chief, Bicycling Magazine)
Duncan Jackson (Industrial Designer, BillingsJackson)

Judging Process
Sidewalk Rack is two-Stage, and In-Building Parking is one-stage. Anonymous Competition
Competitors will submit concept ideas in Stage I. A selection committee will select up to ten competitors who will move to Stage II and receive an honorarium of $5,000 to produce two full-scale prototypes of their design.

Prize
First Place :$10,000
Second Place :$10,000
Third Place :$10,000
The prototypes will be exhibited at an opening reception at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in fall 2008 and will then be installed at two locations in the City to test their ability to withstand the New York City street environment. In exchange for the prize, the first-place winner will transfer intellectual property rights to the design to the City.
