Участникам конкурса предлагается разработать проект информационного павильона для туристических веломаршрутов в североитальянской области Венето. Конкурс направлен на формирование сети «инфоточек» на базе утративших актуальность и полезность газетных киосков. «Инфоточки» должны быть адаптируемы к разным городским и ландшафтным условиям.
Проект должен сочетать функции навигации для туристов и поддержки велосипедной инфраструктуры, отражая при этом культурную идентичность области и учитывая принципы устойчивого развития.
In a world where information flows quickly but rarely stops, urban InfoPoints represent a new way of making knowledge tangible and accessible in public space. They are small, widespread icroarchitectures placed in strategic points of the city or territory to welcome, orient and inform citizens, tourists and travelers. No longer simple kiosks or counters, but experiential places that merge technology, architecture, and local identity. The concept of an InfoPoint is not only about transmitting data: it is a way of telling the story of the territory through space, giving a recognizable face to hospitality.
Cycling as territorial connection
In recent years, two-wheel tourism has become one of the most authentic and sustainable ways to explore a region. Cycling means slowly crossing places, experiencing them with all the senses, rediscovering the human scale of space. Veneto, with its developed network of 8,000 km of bike paths and scenic cycle routes in continuous expansion, is today the first destination for cycle tourists in Italy, with 15% of total presences. From the Munich–Venice route connecting the Dolomites to Venice, to the Treviso–Ostiglia and the Veneto Ring, up to Garda–Venice and coastal routes such as the spectacular "Via del Respiro" above the Venetian Lagoon, Veneto offers hundreds of kilometers of trails through natural landscapes, art cities and historic villages. These routes form a new cultural and sustainable infrastructure: the paths of slow travel, connecting different localities united by conscious tourism. In this context, InfoPoints become stops, charging hubs, orientation points and small local identity centers able to tell the richness of Veneto.
Location. A network system
The project envisions 21 InfoPoints distributed across the main tourist locations and hubs of Veneto. These points often coincide with former newsstands — once daily information hubs, now unused due to the shift toward digital media. The project aims to give these micro-architectures new life, turning them into contemporary InfoPoints. There is no single site, but a widespread network of installations: each prototype must adapt to different urban and landscape conditions while maintaining a coherent and recognizable architectural language.
Possible locations include:
• central or peripheral urban areas
• scenic spots along cycle routes
• railway and intermodal stations
• equipped rest areas near natural paths
Each InfoPoint should become a familiar landmark, expressing belonging to the greater system of a sustainable, bike-friendly Veneto
Project: Objectives
The competition invites participants to design an InfoPoint to replace or regenerate former disused newsstands along regional cycle routes. The goal is to create a contemporary, interactive and sustainable space integrating informational, technological and service-based functions.
InfoPoints must:
• provide tourist and territorial information (physical and digital)
• support cycling mobility (repairs, inflation, charging)
• promote eco-friendly and accessible tourism
• reflect the identity and cultural values of the Veneto region.
Project: Details
Area: 15–30 m²
Mandatory features:
• reception desk for one staff member
• staff-only restroom
• bike inflation & repair station
• electric bike charging station
• ATM
• snack vending machine
• parcel locker (optional)
• integrated solar panels
Materials & language: The architecture must interpret local symbols (such as the Lion of Saint Mark) while proposing a contemporary, distinctive design. The InfoPoint of the future is not an arrival point, but a place of encounter between mobility, territory and architecture — a project about recycling, innovation and community.
Participants are invited to transform former newsstands into contemporary hubs of hospitality and orientation, imagining a more legible, sustainable and connected Veneto—one that is experienced, discovered, and understood through cycling.
