Annie Hancock: Bike Shelter

The canvas sides on my bike shelter design will open up a public place to display art on the Bowdoin campus. Every year, with the help of various visual art classes, each side would receive a new paint job and exhibit an entirely new mural

Courtney Camps: Tree Bike Shelter

This design aims to look like an abstract version of a tree. The need for a covered bike shelter, and for a shelter that can be beautiful as well as functional is great on this campus and this "tree" hopes to achieve that. This design is affordable and would contribute immensely to the campus in its accessible location between Chamberlain Hall, Coles Tower and the Library.

Gwen Hutton: Bicycle Kiosk

This is a bicycle kiosk that includes both a vertical storage system for about 10 bikes and a covered bench for resting or waiting for rides. A central feature of the kiosk is the large supportive pole in the center which also serves as a place for students to communicate with one another through posters and flyers.

Hank Garrett: Construction Debris

The goal of my design was to make use of the construction waste from the dorm renovations, trash that would otherwise be sitting in a dumpster. The variation of materials affords an opportunity to sculpt a unique and eye-catching bike shelter.

Jaclyn Zaborski: Bike Shelter

Biking is up and coming and having bike shelters on campus will help to foster this eco-friendly form of transportation. Adding Bowdoin College spirit to the design will help the shelter blend well into the campus atmosphere.

Julie Sylvester: Rain Water Collection Shelter

The inspiration for this bike shelter came as a result of a Sculpture II project last semester. The shelter was designed to be a functional piece of sculpture.

Kate Hourihan: Bike Shelter

My design combines a bike rack and bike shelter in one simple form. An array of 5 bamboo poles supports a corrugated PVC roof, shielding campus bikes from the elements, yet allowing some light in. The design of the shelter is intended to be simultaneously cost efficient, environmentally friendly, practical, and serve as a visually dynamic piece of sculpture.

Nate Johnson: Bicycle Shelter

This shelter combines a bent wood frame of salvaged cedar with a translucent roof film to create a light, graceful structure. Its generously size can accommodate either an existing or purpose built metal bike rack, and provides double sided access and additional protection for standing or sitting room at both ends.

Sam Modest: Falling Leaf

When designing my bicycle shelter, my goal was to create a sculptural structure that was both functional and related to the natural beauty of our campus. While the form is complete, I have not come to a definite decision about the materials to use; I have considered using copper piping or metal conduit for the frame, and anything from the rubbery shelf-liner I used in my model to giant shrink wrap for the roof material.
