Bus Stop Assignment Part II

by ReniYoung

During exploration for this project, a few ideas came to mind, one of which was a “fine-mesh fabric tree shelter” which would work like it does for smaller plants but on the human scale instead:

v  Light availability (so not too shady)

v  Fineness of mesh will also prevent the tree growth through shelter but still allow natural ventilation (air flow through)

v  Microclimate

Ambient temperature vs. Interior temperature:

  • On warmer days, shelter will be cooler than the ambient temperature
  • On cloudy, cooler days, shelter will be warmer than the ambient temperature

The images below show how it works at the scale of an individual plan but the idea was to have this larger for human-scale (obviously smaller than image 3 on the slideshow).
