Christina and Ben's Bus Stop Enclosure
Description of design drivers / goals
- Goal 1 - Create a bus stop that can regulate temperature.
- Goal 2 - Create a bus stop with comfortable and adequate passenger space.
- Goal 3 - Create a bus stop that is adaptable to a variety of sites.

Sun Elevation, Azimuth (Roof)
- Based on the sun azimuth and two sun elevations (depicted by the sun rays)
Shading Height
- The blue plane is the height which the roof shades inside the enclosure
- 0 m
- 1 m
- 3 m
The Sun
- Rotates around the site (azimuth) and along the arc (elevation)
Roof Outtakes
Lessons Learned
- Rendering and shading are difficult
- Providing shade is difficult too
- Name everything (planes, sketches, extrusions, projections, etc.) as you work
- Use yEd for logic diagraming
- Everything takes time
Discussion
Nice solution on the modular roof design. The shadow solution looks great - I'll be interested to see how well it works in the animated process.
