Sketches of analysis

Ace: Brianna Cerame, Sara Zales

VALUES + HOPES:
One of the concerns in our analysis was to make sure there was visibility of the surrounding area so that you can see if the bus is coming while you are sitting in the shelter.

NATURAL LIGHT + ARTIFICIAL LIGHT:
We wanted to make sure that there was natural light, as well as light from either nearby light post or instaled light into the structure.

CIRCULATION + USE:

There is little seating for bus passengers in the shelter we observed. Even though there is room for four people on one seat, only two people tend to occupy one bench because of its awkardness. we also want to consider making a space for people who are handicap and need a wheel chair.

REPETITIVE + UNIQUE:

As noticed by many other groups, it was very hot in the park and ride shelter. We want to o create ceiling that does not obsorb heat, as well as make an open space that has good ventilation.


TECTONIC + MECHANIC:

Another topic we want to adress is how the shelter contacts the ground. This shelter has legs that are bolted onto the ground.
