Urban Space and Infrastructure
Details
A bus stop as a poetic gesture in the urban space that caters to the location, passersby, and waiting passengers alike. We have created a sculpture in public space that seamlessly blends into the city center and the public transportation infrastructure. The open seating arrangement, naturally formed by the surrounding plane trees, is covered by trapezoidal sheets with extensive greenery, and a sturdy steel trunk supports the benches.

The Jury‘s Statement
Inspired by plane trees, the design language of the bus stop becomes a public work of art in the urban cityscape thanks to its striking sculptural aesthetics. A poetic statement that invites you to linger through the bench and beautifies the cityscape in a modern way.
