URBAN FURNISHING - CRAZY BUS STOPS


We mostly spend our time outside around the city and the "urban design" makes the cities useful,beautiful and "liveable."The traffic,transportation,social activities,green areas,location,the buildings are the most effective things in a city when we decide to live in.Sometimes 1 single thing can change the atmosphere or can solve a very big issue.
Imagine a house with a finished structure and materials.You don't have any furniture in it.But you have to put furniture to live in.For me "URBAN FURNISHING" is the same.There is a structure which makes the city "city" but we need the furniture to live inside.For sure this just should't  be just an object to display like in our houses;it has to be useful,enviromental,functional and acceptable from the population of the city but sometimes we can see really different things with aim or without any aim.And i really love to see different and crazy things around !
You can see bus stops more or less in every city.They are simple,boring and some of them even dont have a roof or place to sit on.I wiil show you some bus stops around the world which you can not imagine ! =)

This "Strawberry House Bus Stop" is in Japan.Just for visuality.Not very japanese style !

"School Bus,Bus Stop" is Athens,Greece.Cute no ?

Bus stop with a swing ! I would wait bus everyday at there ,coz i love swings!
It's in London,UK

This is at Sao Paolo,Brasil during the world cup.Good way to make a visual presentation !



Very very useful,great idea.Everyone knows dubai with its bloody hot weather.
Bus stop with air conditioning.Heaven ! Dubaii,UAE


This bus stop is ultra modern and a bit of art no?
Also includes a LED screen inside.But is in Paris,France.Parisians would love it !

This hi-tech,futuristic bus stops will place in Florence,Italy.
Maybe they already did.But this bus stop is very different from the others.It's a touch-screen bus shelter that monitors environmental conditions and real-time bus movement and also provides information and communication tools that can interact with your cell phone.
The EyeStop, which has touch sensitive e-Ink screens as well as LEDs, features a bus map plotting locations in real-time, e-mail and Web access, tools for planning a best route and getting directions, a community bulletin board, and, of course, a place for silent video advertisements. It will also use sensors to monitor and display local air quality.



This is Vitra Design in Germany.
Designed for the Vitra Design Museum

Keep the city green ! This is in London,Uk.
The roofs will always be green becuase of London's rainy weather.Smart !


Riders can choose to have their local EyeStop bus stop sync with their cell phone. The EyeStop you normally frequent, for example, could twitter you that your usual bus is running late that morning.
Intended for tourists as well as locals, the EyeStop tools will be accessible in several languages.
