Integrating design and functionality

James Lewis (right), a senior in the School of Architecture, shows off a group of stick-figure bicycle racks — dedicated Sept. 17 — he designed for Soulard Market. Produced and installed by Trailnet, a local not-for-profit promoting bicycle transportation, the racks began as a 2003 class project led by affiliate associate professors Bill Wischmeyer, Jana Pereau and Gay Lorberbaum. Lewis’ proposal, inspired by the movements of market patrons, was selected from 50 submissions.
