IMAGINE how a bus stop could be designed to renew, refresh, and connect people. Would you put in a mini community garden box? Solar cells? Bookshelves for informal book sharing? A small business kiosk?
BUILD your vision of a multipurpose bus stop shelter. Use slotted notecards to brainstorm. Use SketchUp to design.
SHARE your thoughts with us. Share concept physical models as images via Flickr or Picasa. Make a refined model in SketchUp and share to the “seeking shelter” collection in SketchUp 3D Warehouse.
