Editor's ChoiceEditor's ChoiceBetter Bus Stop

Site Frames

This prefabricated bus stop revealing the site spirit through customized materials, consists of a transparent frame system and an alternative fabric unit. It can offer spaces with different intimacy by rotating the vertical parts. As a special installation, this mobile bus stop also presents a certain meaning in praxiology and urban landscape ecology.

Emilio Vicedo Ortiz
Juror

The idea of creating a bus station not only as a piece of urban furniture but also as a multidisciplinary platform was positively valued since they include architectural concepts such as the unit, industrialized building, and spatial flexibility as part of the design. Likewise, including renewable energy, ICT, and recycled materials in most of the projects was also judged positively. In some designs, a final product that integrates within the environment on an adequate scale is missing.

Urban mAtrA - Shadow of a Tree

mAtrA in Sanskrit means furniture, and the earliest known street furniture would be sitting under a tree. Translating these thoughts into a product for the 20th century urban environments, resulted in the Urban mAtrA - a fold-able, mobile and movable shadow of a tree. Material exploration aided the feasibility of the furniture for extreme climates.
