We design a bus stop enclosure which is related with lots of charteristics in SF.

• Very Steep Slopes
• Fluctuated Weather
• Many Passengers
• Temperature Variation between Summer and Winter
• Lots of Vista Points
• No Snow, Only Rain

Put random numbers to the parameters, unreasonable matches might be appeared such as winter temperature and summer sun direction or no wind speed and wind direction.

Lessons learned

• The first few times you build your model, write down your steps so that when you have to rebuild it,

you can retrace previous steps (including the logical reasoning behind certain decisions helps, as well).

• Build a contextual base or axis system (much like a skeleton) so that you can build your model without

limiting its flexibility.
