1.0 INTRODUCTION ‘ENROUTE’ is the fi rst of many pilot project’s to promote safe cycling practices and proficiency in the central business district and surrounds of Sydney City. It uses the discipline of an Arts and Design practice to conceptualise journeys in a mode of transport that effects the relationship of our urban environment for its protection and improvement. The medium of communication technologies, the network of sociability, for this reason it can synthesise many desirable aspects to improve our urban environment and wellbeing. The ‘ENROUTE’ project aims for the data collection by cyclists using the internet. Data that is captured to observe and assess the journey and travel behaviour of cyclists. This data is a predictive tool to visualise new developments in urban and traffic planning. ‘ENROUTE’ demonstrates an Arts and Design project that has functional social benefits using the medium of mobile phone capture of imagery, video and photographic demonstrate, in three dimensional designs. The methodology of this production synthesizes disciplinary work as a cumulative process that has many possible outcomes for the Art and Design practitioners and those involved in its research, production and manufacturing. The project requires the capture of video material, cartography, graphic design, sculpture, photography, electronics, three dimensional design and manufacture. The foundation idea throughout the project ‘ENROUTE’ has been personal freedom and safety, moving about one’s urban space, social wellbeing the other consumerism with objects and their ownership. 'The term 'collaborative consumption' is used to describe the cultural and economic force away from '’hyper consumption’ to re-invented economic models of

sharing, swapping, bartering, trading or renting that have been enabled by advances in social media and peer-to-peer online platforms.1 'The concept has been championed by R.Botsman and R.Rogers, (June 2010), ABC Television's Big Ideas programme included a segment showing Botsman's speech at the TEDx Sydney conference in 2010, describing collaborative consumption as "a new socio-economic 'big idea' promising a revolution in the way we consume".2

1.1 PROJECT MISSION To promote sustainable transport for inner city precincts that demonstrates a clean and nonhazardous effect in our city environments, a low reliance on fossil fuels, a shift of attitudes from dependance on motorised transport to the independence of making journeys by bicycle. _____________________________________

1.2 PROJECT SCOPE Sustainable transport and planning ‘To influence travel behaviour it is imperative that needs of a community are considered and captured through good quality planning before infrastructure is put in place. Destination analysis and planning software will enable developers to predict travel behaviour and trip generation. This should ensure that, from inception to maturity, appropriate sustainable travel choices can be provided both within and beyond Growth Points and Eco-towns.’ Opportunities must be created within the planning process to make cycling, walking and public transport the modes of choice. These modes must be made more convenient for the majority of journeys than car usage, to promote genuine modal shift. They should be supported by the necessary management and regulatory measures (e.g. Traffic Regulation Orders).3 1

1.3 PROJECT IDEA Bicycle journeys are recorded in urban precincts and captured in a database to be used for developing cycleway systems, promoting their benefits and planning the development of urban design and commercial precincts. To make bicycle movement accessible for everyone, a hire system is to be established reducing ownership costs, maintenance and insurance of a personal bicycle. The responsibility of ownership becomes third party such as a local council, a commune, or a private enterprise. Partnered by local businesses and transport modes such a train stations and ferry quays to promote and participate in the long term goal of sustainable cyclist and pedestrian movement, urban design and commercial vitality.

1.4 PROJECT BACKGROUND Navigational tools delivered by wireless connectivity and easily usable in downloaded electronic applications for satellite global positioning systems4 (GPS) devices such as mobile phone, personal digital assistant 5 (PDA)and in common usage as part of the contemporary urban communication. Mobile phones have an integrated in radio receiver. 6 Everything out there can be searched, found, watched listened to and traced. Products and services such as maps with views from distant space to ground level ‘street views’, displaying details of density, fabrication, style, layout, transport systems, population centres and statical information available to decipher and interpret everything that moves throughout our environment.

2.2 PARTNER City of Sydney The fi rst approach is planned to the largest beneficiary and benefactor, the City of Sydney local council as cited in this proposal their aims for the projected years until 2020 with dedication to reduction of the use of fossil fuels and its impact on the environment. This council has an integral relationship with the Road and Traffic authority of NSW and this can be aligned and leveraged compatibly with this aims of this project. The City of Sydney supported ‘The Dreams on Wheels’ exhibition was held at the University of Technology, Sydney in June 2008 to feature the Danish culture of cycling and innovative Danish bicycle design. Motivated by how a ‘cyclocentric’ approach to urban development can stimulate sustainable civic behaviour, the exhibition promotes cycling in a broader cultural context, displaying Danish urban cityscapes alongside urban visions for Australia by Danish architect Jan Gehl.

2.3 LOCATION The settlement of Sydney began on 26 January 1788, when the 11 ships of the "First Fleet" dropped anchor at Sydney Cove by 1842 the City of Sydney was established with 30,000 people. The City’s streets have been the subject of ongoing modifications, alterations and confusions. Many streets have disappeared, been realigned, or renamed; while many others are being created. There are 33 precincts of the Local Government, comprising a site area of approximately 26.15km².

7


‘Many would argue that the haphazard quality of its street alignments gives Sydney a charm that no city constrained by grids or directed into planners’ artistic curves of roads could ever achieve.’ 7( S. Fitzgerald 1995) Its central business district is estimated to have 483,000 people travel to the City on any day to shop, be educated, conduct business with fi rms in the City or simply to be entertained. This is additional to the 385,000 daily workforce in the City and over 2.6 million visitors to the Sydney Metropolitan area. (June 2008) ‘The City of Sydney is committed to cooperating with residents, government and transport operators to provide a high quality transport network for a sustainable, vibrant City. Cycling is a convenient, sustainable and enjoyable way to get around Sydney. Construction of a high quality network of cycle paths and lanes that will make cycling a relaxed, safe, mainstream transport option for adults and children.’8

Meeting with Mark Stimpson, Digital Editor, Brains Agency, Sydney. Discussion about Lipstick Camera as a higher quality small video camera versus the 3G and 4G iPhone. As most people would not access a small high quality camera the iPhone was chosen for capturing video. Ar readers are the latest technology in outmoding QR codes, however this is too large an element to include in a 12 week project. Photosynthing is a development for accumulating millions of photographic image as a social collective dat base, a future arts digital project direction.

4 .0 INSTALLATION DESIGN 4.1 COMMUNICATION OBJECTIVES To create an arts installation integrating collected bicycle rider’s data, to locate this in the public domain where both riders and pedestrians pass by, this group would be made up of students, tourists and visitors, family groups. The installation represents cycle riders journeys and experiences in the CBD and will conduct a survey of collected data. It is a community arts project that invites individual participation.

4.2 BACKGROUND To promote bicycling as a preferred mode of transport for commuting into the Sydney CBD and short trips in the CBD. Sydney has excellent natural conditions for developing a cycle culture since the climate and topography does not provide too many difficulties. NEW CYCLE PLAN The City of Sydney’s Cycle Strategy and Action Plan 2007-2017 is Council’s commitment to making cycling as attractive a choice of transport as walking or using public transport.9 (Gehl 2007)

4.3 PROJECT SOLUTION The project solution documents the disciplines of signage, wayfinding and branding; 1. Problem: to create an arts project presented to the outdoor public domain 2. Research: the materials and fabrication need to be visible, practical and functional 3. Solution: based on research fi ndings; to visualise from initial design concept and specify an outdoor prototype to scale A prototype will visualise the touch and feel and result in revisions Specifications are: 2D and 3D detailed drawings including dimensions, materials, fi nishes, site plans, anchorage's fixings, bolt cage, assembly, fabrications.

The City of Sydney has specific signage guidelines for particular areas of the CBD and surrounding areas. A PDF readable software to be able to view this fi le, a DCP (Development Control Plan) March 2005 City of Sydney Signage & Advertising Structures Development Control Plan This DCP Supplements the provisions of the State Environmental Planning Policy No.64 Advertising and signage (SEPP 64) These two provisions apply to Enroute Journey Tubes • Freestanding advertisements • Special promotional advertisements Signage and advertising structures are an important element of the built environment of the City of Sydney. These provisions are intended to protect the significant characteristics of buildings, streetscapes, vistas of the city skyline. These provisions are also are intended to encourage well designed and well positioned signs which contribute to the vitality and legibility of the City of Sydney and which respect the amenity of residents and pedestrians and the safety of motorists. City of Sydney Signage and Advertising Structures Development Control Plan, 2005, Section 1.4, P5. In considering innovative design proposals for signs not envisaged by these provisions or where there are issues of interpretation, the consent authority will consider the design excellence of the proposed sign and degree to which it meets the objectives of this DCP. City of Sydney Signage and Advertising Structures Development Control Plan, 2005, Section 1.5, P5,6

4.4 Strategy Signage Enroute Journey Tubes are an installation that is a part of the built environment; positioning and locations are a critical part of it promoting and identifying the project. This installation will contribute to the streetscape characteristic and ambiance of the precinct namely; City of Sydney. Located in Hyde Park, Domain and Cook and Phillip Park Development application To provide; information, drawings to scale, location, type, construction and total number of signage elements for the installation. Maintenance Methods of cleaning, replacement of defective lighting to ensure ongoing upkeep of the installation. Road safety To regard the project and non-prejudicial to the safety of the traveling public, these are situated in locations that do not distract or impair vision, distract or reduce concentration of drivers and bicyclists Location and positioning To comply with the following criteria Lateral clearance from the signage element to the kerb is to be not less than 0.6 metres. Reduced to 0.45 if the footway is less than 3.6 meters, headroom is the cabling and conduit, metres on a public roadway. Signage and structure in the Public Domain Not permitted to; • Intrude or obstruct accessible paths of travel - hinder pedestrian circulation or disabled access • Obstruct sightlines to structures that are well lit and colour contrasted where appropriate to assist people with vision impairments Free Standing Signs • Integrated in to the landscape • No more than 2M high

26


Significant trees and vegetation to remain and be included in the DA and Landscape Plan.

Objectives of the installation 1. To achieve a high level of design quality with its design and its relationship to the architectural design of buildings and the character of the streetscapes. 2. To provide a clear message with community information, using high quality materials 3. Be visually interesting and exhibit a high level of design quality, regarding materials, finishes and colours 4. To have regard to the view of the installation, its structure, cabling and conduit, from all angles, including any visibility from the street level and nearby higher buildings 5. Illumination, including cabling, to be concealed, integral to the element 6. Animation on a temporary basis in association with the arts event Installation locations The Domain, the Botanical Gardens, the Cook and Phillip Park and Hyde Park are places in proximity to the City Centre. These vast parklands offer a diversity of recreational possibilities for the people of Sydney and hold the opposites to a dense and busy City Centre - quietness, space for big events or for space demanding activities, few sensual impacts and a low noise and pollution level. As such the qualities of these natural reserves are needed ingredients in a busy city. What is also offered from e.g. Bennelong Point or Mrs.Macquaries’s Chair are views of the city and the Harbour allowing people to perceive a perspective of the city they are using in their daily lives10 (Gehl 2007) Map redrawn, Hyde Park in Sydney’s CBD with four points marked for the location of the Journey Tubes. Good location points as there is shaded areas large enough for several riders to meet and rest at the Journey Tubes, upload their videos and download maps and routes, places of interest. This area is undergoing extensive redevelopment to have the area with complete designated cycleways .

Bluetooth - It’s namesake the Danish King Harald Blåtand, Bluetooth, 920AD whom connected his kingdom, developed by Ericsson, Sweden. He united Denmark and Norway with the introduction of Christianity. To show the significance of bringing together different devices and enabling communication between them, Bluetooth technology got its name after him. A bluetooth enabled, mobile phone connecting to a company Bluetooth technology was developed with a purpose of creating a single digital wireless protocol, capable of connecting multiple devices and getting over the synchronization issues. It enables shortrange wireless communication thus replacing wires connecting the electronic devices2.

6.0 ENROUTE IDENTITY Creating an identity that marks out the territory for the cyclist, promoted by Bike Buddies and the ENROUTE hire system to attract new users as a contender to motorised transport. The aim is to change the mindset from a road hinderance, accident prone nuisance to a pro-active, community service and social interactivity.

BRAND The brand mark is constructed of three basic components that can move independently, the word mark, the line representing the trail and the points or pins. The branding can represent a trail or trails, wayfaring points and suggest connectivity, groups and focus points. By using solid circles these can represent ‘pins’ in a map, symbolise destination and arrival points, centres and illustrate meeting and convergence, exploration and divergence.

BRAND COLOURS The brand colours are red, black and white. The white can be substituted to grey and silver, depending on the background, legibility and distances for readability.

6.1 Team This team is a think-tank of diverse individuals sharing basic values towards a goal; urban and environmental harmony, organisational effectiveness relies upon three closely linked platforms; • Vision provides stability and meaning • Culture collaborative thinking, working in a creative management process • Focus is the planning process that builds upon the foundation of vision and culture These are the principal functions of leadership in areas critical to effective organisational transformation’13 (T.Scott and P. Harker, 2002) The project located in the City of Sydney’s the task is promotions of a safe cycling program in the public domain, aiming at increasing Bicycling as a mode of transport for commuting and short local trips. The focus is on the largest user groups; students, commuters and local resident community. The project will become a network of groups pooling resources in various ways.

enroute WORDMARK The wordmark is typeset in the font Gill sans, all lower case, the leading letterform, 20% ‘x’ height larger than the remaining letterforms. The counter in the letter ‘o’ is fi lled solid in an opposing colour to the font and it’s background. These two features build in a small difference that makes it build recognition as a logotype.

36


BRAND COMPONENTS These elements can be used with or without the wordmark and are a subsidiary to the wordmark. Expression and dimension can be communicated through the layout, the use of the red as a focus point and as the brand becomes established through usage and reproduction it will represent the lgotoype. The zigzag layout and solid circles and connections resonate with the movements of wheels and cycle frames, the turning and motions. The components are adaptable and versatile.
