A BRIEF JOURNEY

In order to engage the sustainable agenda with the public one approach to consider are opportunities which take of advantage of existing infrastructure. Whilst a considerable pressure today in on bicycles in our urban environments some cities are unable to integrate the bike culture due to certain obstacles such as terrain and economy. The pedal coaster is an avant-garde Victorian solution finally realised due to long standing advances in lighter materials.

By combining the system with standardized scaffolding parts typically used in festival architecture, the pedal coaster challenges conventional forms of transportation in its experiential, health, efficiency and sustainable qualities. The coaster liberates the user from the ground floor plane avoiding pedestrian traffic and providing a series broader festival views. The track structures emit a spectrum of colours at night, orientating the entire festival though a series of meeting points. When the festival finishes the entire installation is dissembled and pragmatically re-appropriated to other sites.
