OCAD Gateway Bike Stand Competition Winners Announced

posted by Joe on Friday, April 17, 2009

I cruised down to OCAD at lunch today to catch the announcement of the winners of their Gateway Bike Stand Competition, and thought I'd share the results with you.

The owner and architect of the property at 226 Queen Street West (rendering on the right) wanted to support the creation of a signifier of this vibrant corner of Toronto by widening the pedestrian sidewalk for enhancement to create a “gateway” to these two important neighbourhoods (Queen West and McCaul/The Grange), and to support the greening of Toronto by providing infrastructure for bicycle users.

1st Place
(winner of $6,000 and design to go into production)

Submission by Justin Rosete (second-year Industrial Design) and Erica Mach (second-year Drawing & Painting).

2nd Place
(winner of $3000)

"Express(sion)"
by Kelli EV Hui and Olivier Mayrand (both second-year Industrial Design).

3rd Place
