From the Philippines to the Netherlands, bus-station projects are revving up.
STUTTGART AIRPORT BUSTERMINAL WITH PARKING GARAGE | wulf architekten
Anodised and perforated metal plates constitute the shimmering, platinum-coloured façade of wulf architekten’s parking garage and 18-platform bus station, adjacent to the Stuttgart Airport in Germany.
BUS STATION IN SANTA POLA | Emilio Vicedo and Manuel Lillo
A dramatic, tapering metal canopy sets Emilio Vicedo and Manuel Lillo’s bus station apart from the immediate industrial landscape in Santa Pola, Spain.
CEBU BUS RAPID TRANSIT | CAZA (Carlos Arnaiz Architects)
Designed for the new BRT transport system in Cebu, Philippines, the ziggurat-like roofs of CAZA’s bus stops provide shade and catch rainwater, while sharp green and blue diagonals reference ancient, local basket-weaving traditions.
BUS STATION OF TRUJILLO | Ismo Arquitectura
Situated between the city and the countryside, Ismo Arquitectura’s monolithic, concrete bus station in Trujillo, Spain, finds material inspiration in its flat, rocky surroundings.
BUS DRIVERS BUILDING | Benthem Crouwel Architekten
Balancing privacy with a panoramic view, Benthem Crowel Architekten’s diminutive, two-storey structure offers bus drivers a comfortable respite from Amsterdam’s busy central bus station.
