MODULAR BUS SHELTER

The mere need of a bus shelter is to provide ample shelter to passengers in order to commute around places from the harmful weather conditions but on the other hand provide tranquility and comfort. The bus shelter offers the commuter not just comfort and hope, but also an outlook to learn more about the various other sights and locations that the bus visits. Hence, a bus stop can mean much more than just provide shelter and comfort towards the commuting demographic.

Subsequent studies by Ahaus Arquitectos involves a very modular study in finding solutions against heat. Current shelter designs adopted by the local transportation authority are designed about economy or vanity and universally fail to consider the comfort of the occupants in these unique environmental conditions.

The final prototypical system design was derived from fifteen initial schematic designs and refined to ensure its ability to effectively adapt to the four cardinal orientations. The adopted system prototypes are comprised of three planes calibrated to maximize morning and afternoon shade, for four seated occupants, between the vernal and autumnal equinoxes.

One plane is parametrically designed as a structural louver that enables visual contact between the occupants and the bus driver while maximizing shade.

Medical Collage Bus Bay

We hardly had a 8 meter long 1.2 m wide strip. Our first decision was to request the medical college to devote a little more space behind the bus stop, which as a rear waste dumping yard of a building. we finally attained a 2.4 m depth. Our decision to make two sets of stops, with a small intermediate garden passage was deliberate to create positive responses all around, even to the rear yard.
