Bike Canopy by CO + Lab

The bicycle canopy was the second project by CO+Lab a construction+collaboration laboratory who sought to make small construction interventions to improve underutilized spaces around the Meyerson Hall, home of PennDesign at the University of Pennsylvania.

There was a need for covered bicycle storage around the PennDesign buliding. The canopy was designed through numerous full-scale prototypes and meant to attach directly to standard bicycle racks found all across campus. The simple material pallet [steel and fabric] made the canopy structures easy to reproduce. Their undulating hyparbolic forms made them functional and pleasant to look at.
