bicycle architecture biennale opens in amsterdam ahead of global tour
15 projects from nine different countries are presented as part of the second edition of the bicycle architecture biennale (BAB). the show, which is now on view in amsterdam before beginning a global tour, examines the effect that cycling is having on our cities. the exhibition was curated by NEXT architects, with the individual projects selected on their ability to demonstrate how design solutions can go beyond the functional, while leading to healthier lifestyles, more inclusive communities, a cleaner environment, or a more sustainable economy.
Â
the selected schemes include a distinctively arched structure in the netherlands and a ring-shaped bridge planned for germany. read more about each of the selected works below, and find out more about BAB here.

this path for pedestrians and cyclists links one of barcelona?s most difficult points in the metropolitan road network: the junction of the B-20 ring road and the B-23 expressway. this junction has been a barrier for people walking and cycling for 60 years, but now the new path offers the most direct crossing possible, cutting almost 500 meters off the route. the green pathway is a very pleasant and surprising space, suggestive of country lanes beyond the city limits and major road infrastructures.
