| dc.description.abstract | This report summarizes the design proposals for conceptual bus stops that are responses to the current environments at two existing Lane Transit District (LTD) sites. This 10-week course led students with little to no formal design experience in understanding the connection and process of designing a functional and replicative structure. General requirements of the project included design of a bus stop that matched LTD’s considerations such as rider amenities and security. Additional design possibilities included creating unique structures that would improve the experience of users. Through practical experience, a class of fourteen students built on their ability to communicate their proposals through drawing, 3D modeling, and Photoshop, software that allows users to create visualizations. Students also learned traditional forms of architectural communication through drafting, elevations, and site plans. Through site visits, the class learned common strategies to study space and observed the environment that commuters experience while using the buses and stations. Four student proposals were chosen to provide a range of designs. The completed designs offered different and unique elements, such as introducing unique amenities, technology, and designed environmental responses to the bus stops. Each design emphasized the common themes of increased user interaction and sustainability. | en_US |
