Project 1: Skeletal Construction
In this project, we were to construct a temporary bus shelter which has maximum height of 600mm and base of 400mm x 800mm in the scale of 1:5. We had to understand and demonstrate the knowledge of skeletal frames and joints to produce a strong and stable structure which can endure external forces from dead load, wind load and live load which can bear the weight of 5-6 people. The joints should be constructed in a way to reflect the actual joints, and the parts of its building components should be able to be dismantled and reconstructed at different site as a temporary structure.

Final Product
Bus Stop Design Concept: Interaction through Visibility
INTRA
BETWEEN THE USERS IN THE SHELTER
To promote interaction between users while utilizing the bus shelter, instead of facing directly towards the road, seatings/benches are designed for users to sit face-to-face with others.
INTER
BETWEEN THE USERS AND THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
To compromise between gaining privacy and enough transparency for users to notice the upcoming buses, facade cladding with certain visibility level are used for users’ convenience and thermal comfort as they work as shading devices too.
