Benches w/Paneling

1.      The idea for this scheme began with the idea of movement on the sight. a bus stop is a place of constant coming and going and i felt that the architecture itself should reflect such. the form came from the shape of a wave, wrapping over itself and breaking. the basic form was created by lofting two overlapping curves. it was then offset and a base was created by making 2-d the bottom surface and extruding it to the ground plane. seating was placed along this connection. further articulation of th form was achieved by rebuilding the curve and adjusting the control points to better reflect my original design intent.
        If i were to change this design in some way, i would adjust the curve to allow for an overhang for bike storage, and perhaps allow some of the light on the benches leeward side to pass through the bench, to under the overhang.
2.        The process for this scheme started with the idea of a single form bending and undulating around itself to form a solitary element which provided its own cover for bikes and pedestrians. the form itself begins by ascending out of the ground plane to create a space for seating. the form then splits itself off into the y and z direction, up to create the roof and out to create further seating and a niche in the space.. the form curves back around itself and undulates itself downward like a waterfall to connect and make itself whole. bike storage comes from under the “waterfall” and there is ample space to post flyers. this form was achieved by lofting and offsetting a series of curves and calculated geometric semicircles.
something that could take further consideration would be the roof form, which as it stands is rather narrow and does not do the best of jobs covering the space beneath.
