This is one of the bigger projects I did during my semester as an exchange-student at FH Aachen in Germany.
The major task of this project was to create a sustainable bus stop, suitable for an urban environment.
My final idea was to create a modular bus stop, thus making it possible to adapt the size of it to fit every urban area. It can be placed on both a narrow sidewalk and a big square.

The first idea for the concept. Five parts able to combine into an indefinite number of combinations.
Improved version of the concept.
First model, to try to get a better feel for the form.
Exploration sketches in search for a better profile.
Final suggestion for the profile of the bus stop.
