YOU CAN MAKE THIS BIKE AT HOME

Harmony to use production tactics hitherto inconceivable outside the industry.

On those  axes – sustainable mobility and distributed manufacturing – the OpenBike assignment of the Arquimaña studio pivots , which makes the methods for manufacturing a non-polluting urban means of transport to be had to all people.

The initiative became a finalist on the Arquia/Proxima 2018 pageant: Relevant Practices and is part of the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021 and the Cities, Craft/Digital exhibition at SBAU 2021, Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism .

In more and more dense and populated towns, using non-polluting delivery inclusive of bicycles is key and crucial for coexistence. On the alternative hand, latest get entry to to technology offers us the possibility to use manufacturing processes that had been hitherto unattainable out of doors enterprise.

The OpenBike mission of the Arquimaña studio is based totally on these  axes -sustainable mobility and dispensed production-, which makes to be had to each person the techniques for manufacturing a non-polluting way of urban transport.

The initiative was a finalist inside the Arquia/Proxima 2018: Relevant Practices pageant and is a part of the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021 and the Cities, Craft/Digital exhibition at the SBAU 2021, Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism.

Since it began in 2015, #openbike has been a dwelling challenge, in consistent alternate, to keep the maximum fidelity to its authentic goals. Throughout these six years, the initiative has produced four models of bicycles with wood frames. All of them may be finished using the assets of a nearby virtual fabrication workshop (FabLab) which include three-D printing and CNC cutting. The predominant traits of the layout are primarily based on the universality of the person, the capability for the delivery of products, the simplicity of the construction and the supply of materials.

Since it began in 2015, #openbike has been a residing undertaking, continuously changing, to keep most constancy to its original dreams. Over the direction of these six years, the initiative has produced four fashions of timber-framed bicycles. All of them may be made the usage of the resources of a neighborhood digital fabrication workshop (FabLab) including 3-D printing and CNC slicing. The fundamental design features are based totally on person universality, capability for transporting items, simplicity of production and availability of substances.

Anyone interested can down load the vital records to make the model of their preference or even modify the unique design. This shared digital facts may be accessed from anywhere within the global to materialize it domestically and sustainably, the usage of virtual manufacturing strategies that generate a managed minimal quantity of waste. In this manner, it is supposed to empower the citizen as a reworking agent that generates lively and productive cities and reduces carbon emissions to a minimum. As its promoters confirm, "we do not delivery substances, however information".

Anyone fascinated can download the required statistics to make the version in their choice or even regulate the unique design. This shared digital data may be accessed from everywhere inside the world to materialize it in a local and sustainable way, the use of digital fabrication techniques that generate a controlled minimal amount of waste. In this way, the intention is to empower the citizen as a reworking agent that generates lively and efficient cities and decreases carbon emissions to a minimal. As its promoters country, "we do no longer delivery substances, but facts".
