Overall movement path

From the time you get on the bus, the further you go, the smaller the space is divided. This s in line with the social distance we are comfortable with.

Blade rotation size

The blades placed under the frame (revolving doors) are available in different sizes, which determine the different space sizes and the way the space is reassembled.

This common door has a high degree of freedom and can form any space with the surrounding frame.

I did some tricks on a single piece door like this to combine it with other doors.

This revolving door can be combined with the surrounding frame in various arrangements, thus creating a variety of interactive spaces.

I made the door in several shapes following one axis of rotation.

Combination Of Overall Frames, Walls And Doors

As shown in the picture on the right: light yellow is the frame, white is the fixed wall, and purple is the door. Passengers can change the way the doors are combined with their state of conversation.

The reason for using revolving doors for space division: it is more random and less traceable than a linear maze. Whether counterclockwise or clockwise, the way the path is formed lies with the next person who comes in. All encounters are more like to come from uncontrollable "destiny".

This bus designed to operate in City of Changsha has 5 stops. They are the amusement park, high-speed railway station, a business district, the ecological park and the university town. Next to each stop is a direct subway to the city center, which also makes it easy for passengers to switch to their normal mode of commuting. These five stops is a good overview of the city.
