In Indianapolis, a Bike Path to Progress

2014-03-05T11:07:00-05:00

Before the path arrived, Indianapolis didn’t have a mainstream bike scene — just streets designed to improve traffic flow. Now, children and the elderly have joined the spandex swarms of longtime cycling enthusiasts... The public art along the trail accentuates the path’s role as a sculptor of the city’s evolving identity. For example, Donna Sink’s “Moving Forward” is a series of seven stained-glass-hued eco-friendly bus shelters covered in lines from poems by local writers.

The fine craftsmen of Indiana conferencing before the chop down The yellow poplar tree hanging from the crane The tree in a horizontal position The truck is finally loaded The tree outside Anderson, Indiana, ready to roll Truck on its way to Indianapolis on narrow roads with police escort The tree at the 100 acres ready for further refinement.

Visiondivision, a Swedish architecture firm from Stockholm was commissioned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art to create an innovative concession stand for 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park.

Our friend, Archinect contributor Donna Sink, is the local architect of the record for this project.
