In November 2008, Bruno and Christian Muller teamed up to win an open design competition, based on a proposed bike park facility in Valmont City Park, Boulder, Colorado. The design is conceived as a series of conceptually related spaces throughout the park.

The Hub Plaza forms a central gathering space, both for cyclists using the park, and for the adjacent residential community.

Thematically linked to bicycling and its inherent forms, the center of the plaza is made of spaces – walking suspended above space, between tall stones that have been bisected, a space made between them etc.  The implication is that “the wheel is useful because of the space at the center.”

The entry sculpture aims to capture the energy, tension and dynamism integral to mountain biking and BMX riding, while suggesting abstracted bike componentry.   The form also realtes to a key piece of racing infrastructure – the start finish line.

Landforms will provide viewing opportunities (and incidental riding opportunites), along the start/finish.  These are inspired by flow forms resulting from movement.   Racing energy writ large.
