SYNOPSIS
C.RACK is a bike rack developed using different workflows for different parts of the project: the resoult has been a comparison between topologycal optimization and classical structural analisys. After carefully analyzing the context of bike messenger, I set the main goal: solve the problem of medium size delivery (20-40 kg), a range difficult to cover efficiently with a cargo bike or with a messenger bag.
I started a deep analisys from a antropologycal and technical point view, interviewing differente actors (like bike messengers, engineers, suppliers and so on) and gathering the correct set of information usefull for rhe project. The results is a bike rack with features top on its class that takes full advantage of technologies related to composites and 3d printing.
