Bus Stop

 A bus stop design was made by me. Before that I made a literature study about bus stops. I got to know about the standard measurements of the bus stops and it's components.





Different types of roofing were also documented.

A case study was made about Kressbad Bus stop located in Austria. It was a very different bus stop due to its unique concept. It has 2 floors, ground and first floor. There is a tennis court behind this bus stop. People watch the tennis match in the first floor during their wait. They also have openings to see whether the bus arrives. It was constructed by the Rintala Eggertson Architects.





The target is to create a pleasant environment for the people. This was achieved with the help of wind chimes. Yes, knowing the fact that music, sounds and vibrations creates a subconscious pleasure.  This is much needed for a busy place like a bus stop. The form is inspired from the shape of a bell. 

Cross ventilation and stack effect was achieved in the form. Incorporation of Hostile architecture makes the space better to use. It's highly efficient to make to make the building sustainable, green concrete is the major material used to make this chime.
