Who Will Win this Year's Belluschi Cup?
Posted by: StephanieSep 23 2008, 10:47 am
To add some extra excitement to the Bike Commute Challenge, both in house and within the Portland architecture and design community, SERA Architects' Sustainable Action Committee has launched the first annual Belluschi Cup named after Portland's famed and beloved architect, Pietro Belluschi.
Modeled on the Stanley Cup, the Belluschi Cup will be held proudly for one year by the participating Portland architecture/design firm within the 25-99 category who achieves the best overall score in the Bike Commute Challenge. The Cup was made from recycled bike parts by Ethan Timm of SERA Architects.

Oh, shucks. I thought this might have something to do with Toga Parties. I guess the spelling's not quite right.
too bad this is limited to only architectural/design firms! what about all the other folks in town working on product? like… bike parts? just a thought.
Why only firms with 25-99 employees? Lots of great biking architecture firms in town that have less than 25 people…and a couple that have more than 99…it'd be great if all architectural firms were in it to win it.
Thanks for your responses folks… As the original challengers and creators of the Belluschi Cup, we decided to confine the cup to our competitive range (25-99) because that is the category in which we compete… There's no point making it too broad since that would essentially recreate the Bike Commute Challenge.
As for other inter-industry challenges, I think that's a great idea. The more the merrier – I'd love to see others started next year.
