Solar Veloroute Multifunctional Photovoltaic Structure

Peter Kuczia Multifunctional Photovoltaic Structure Architecture

Solar Veloroute

The idea of covering the bicycle routes with "Veloroutes" - the aesthetic, electricity generating photovoltaic canopies and transforming them into attractive landscape structures is not only sustainable, but creates a kind of sculptural variety that becomes an architectural symbol for the change from gas-powered cars to more sustainable ways of mobility. Just one Kilometer of the “Veloroute” could provide around 2000 MWh of electricity and could power 750 households or provide electricity for more than 1.000 electric cars driving 11.000 Kilometers per year.

Solar Veloroute Multifunctional Photovoltaic Structure by Peter Kuczia has been highlighted as an exceptional representation of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Solar Veloroute Multifunctional Photovoltaic Structure received the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2021. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design award which honors exceptional design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
