   The brief of the design studio is to design an element for the Urban outdoors. This element should be functional and should serve a purpose for the users of the public. The chosen element for design is a bicycle parking stand. The usual bicycle parking stands found in public areas are merely just rods where bicycles are made to be leaned, and that still serves the need of the bicycle enthusiasts. The problem which was identified was that the element was monotonous throughout our urbanscape. Thus one of the rectified idea was to bring change to the boring existing design and also to add an additional purpose to it. The idea was that an element can serve another purpose while stil being a bicycle stand. Most bicycle enthusiasts carry a helmet or a backpack or atleast a water bottle along with them. For which they would need a place to kep it safe. Thus the design serves to be a safety locker as well as a bicycle parking stand.
