Layers - Bus Shelter Concept

Idea projektu

A bus shelter concept inspired by organic shell-like forms, using layered structural elements to create a passively cooled, sustainable transit shelter.

Popis projektu

The Layers bus shelter concept draws its form development from a natural shell shape, abstracting its curved layered geometry into an architectural canopy structure. The shelter incorporates functional zones including seating areas, AC seating, a kiosk, standing zone, and toilet facilities. The design employs passive strategies such as shading blocks to limit low-angle solar glare, a perforated mesh roof to diffuse heat, natural ventilation for incoming air, passive design to optimize thermal comfort, and strategic shielding to limit solar gain.

Technické informace

Materials include tensile fabric sheet (lightweight, durable and weather resistant), polished concrete (smooth finish for a clean and modern look), steel frames (high strength with corrosion resistance), ETFE foil (translucent, energy efficient and lightweight), and recycled plastic lumber (sustainable, low maintenance and durable). The zoning layout arranges entry, seating area, AC seating, kiosk, additional seating area, and toilet in a linear sequence with a standing zone below.
