The State Transport Leasing Company provides enterprises with mainline airplanes and helicopters, passenger ships, barges, and tankers for rent and leasing. The company’s portfolio also includes carriages for transporting people and cargo, as well as various types of urban public transport. The studio designed a concept of convenient and eco-friendly street stops for GTLK.
The main shape-forming element of the stop is a house. One of the key archetypes in a person’s life reminds them of itself even on the way.
The facade is a single transparent interactive “smart glass” panel. The upper left part is reserved for the most important information: it displays the current date, as well as the weather and the time until the arrival of the nearest transport. The lower part is intended for educational information.
Elements of the payment interface are displayed on the right side of the front panel. Here you can purchase single tickets or choose various types of travel passes.
The side walls are the most important functional element, displaying interactive route maps. You select a route and learn all its stops and the real-time location of your bus. Such a side panel can easily display the name of the stop in any language with the required contrast. This is especially important when the level of natural light changes.
Synthesized materials are used to the maximum in the structure. Thanks to changes in composition, they have high strength while being completely transparent. The pavilion is always bright inside: in the evening, lights built into the ceiling are switched on, and late at night, when transport is no longer running, ultraviolet lamps are activated to disinfect the interior space.
The pavilion fits neatly into the urban ecosystem, becoming a full-fledged part of it: the plants on the roof generate electricity and serve as an irrigation mechanism.
Biomorphic synthetic elements serve as the load-bearing structure for the seats, becoming the key element of the architectural appearance of the stop. The seats themselves are equipped with illuminated armrests and can be freely transformed depending on the number of people waiting. Few people at the stop — the seats have the form of an ordinary bench.
If there are many people, the bench folds up, turning into half-seats, and the armrests are simply removed.
A contactless mobile device charging area is provided next to the seats.
And of course, there is a trash bin at the stop! It “talks” to people using a scrolling text display and additionally encourages cleanliness.
Trash is stored in an underground pull-out storage with compartments for separate collection.
Ideal stops are waiting for the moment to appear on city streets.
