These are my preliminary sketch models for the bus shelter assignment. They borrowed heavily from principles used in some of my earlier projects. The bottom image shows the model that we ran with adding a few modifications but keeping it in tact for the most part.
It was decided that the open end of the shelter is to face Spring Garden Street, because that is the direction from which the bus approaches. The vertical opening in the opposite wall of the shelter serves as a window of sorts for occupants to look down Tate Street in the opposite direction of the bus' approach.
The shape of the structure was implemented in order to connect visually with the sculpture garden recently completed outside the art museum. It has a natural area that is wavy, changing height in a radio wave-like fashion. Thus the curves of the bus shelter are an extension of this visual element.
