KMB 2012 Sustainable Bus Shelter Design Competition _Finalist (Teamwork)
Yip Tat Cheong, Peterson Chan Yau Hin, Albert Team: City Builder 2012
This bus shelter design is based on three principles: low-maintenance, sustainability and eye-catching. It is mainly composed of steel and aluminum, with polycarbonate board as roof, which are stronger and can be easily cleaned. The colors used are high contrast silver and red, which respond to KMB’s iconic culture.
WE-SHELTER Concept---V to We
We choose this form as it expresses the vivid and energetic of Hong Kong urbanism---the V-shaped canopy. It is supported by red and white aluminum sticks, which are connected and reinforced by round aluminum rods. Wind---each A-shaped module has sufficient space for faciliating air flow so the users feel comfortable for staying longer in this shelter, with demonstrating the vibrant city image of HK. Light---the round aluminium rods can reflect indirect sunlight. The installation of PV panel (optional) captures solar energy for lighting. Pollutants---the climber plants (optional) can block dust and particulates from the vehicles, thus creating a healthy space for users.
