The Breathing Shelter - a bus shelter designed as a porous climatic membrane that filters harsh south east sun while enhancing passive airflow through a fectoline facade system and a ventilated floating roof.
The shelter concept is inspired by organic leaf forms, translating their aerodynamic properties into an architectural canopy. Vertical aerodynamic fins arranged rhythmically form fectoline facades that create a filtered microclimate within the shelter. The facade fins have a depth of 100mm, thickness of 40mm, spacing of 100mm, and angle rotation between 30°-60° with an anodized finish material.
Primary structure uses a steel tubular frame. Roof is aluminium standing seam. Facade fins are powder coated aluminium. Secondary skin is perforated metal. Seating is perforated steel. Floor is textured Kota stone.
