Assignment 2: Bus Stop - Final

The site we were given was a very generic site, so I decided to use a suburban setting. I chose a shopping center as the most likely place for folks to need public transportation to or from. After making this decision, I decided to create a bus stop that would juxtapose itself against the landscape. I wanted to use curves and jutting angles in order to establish this look. 

The objective of my design was to produce spaces that are distinct and different but still connected either physically or visually. I believe the paneling tools helped in this concept because I could create interesting screens for people to look through.

Along with creating distinct, yet connected spaces, I also wanted to design a space which was protected from the elements, like rain and harsh sunlight. I used the roof element and paneled wall elements to create the boundaries and thresholds for the various spaces.

Assignment 2: Bus Stop - Part 2

The objective of Scheme 2 is to create a space which wraps around the individuals waiting for the bus. I chose to panel that wrapping surface because I wanted it to be a more dramatic gesture. The design has the downfall of it being open to the weather in the vast majority of the site. However, I think the paneling helped to create distinct spaces, connected by a single surface. 

The objective of Scheme 3 was to take a line, flip it, and loft a surface between the two. I then went through and removed specific surfaces in order to create a more dynamic space. I chose to panel several surfaces to create more of a connection between the separate spaces. The design still protects from the weather, and now it gives a more clear view of the buses coming.
