Bus Shelter

Project idea

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.

Project description

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.

Technical information

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.
