Milwaukee Bus Shelter

http://www.archidose.org/Feb09/23/dose.html

This bus shelter is a small part of a larger project which includes a pedestrian bridge over the Milwaukee River.   The drawings on the linked site show strongly how a design concept can hold together from the urban scale down to the technical detail.    The concrete base detail of the bus shelter is really nice – the bus shelter structure does not simply transfer into footings, but there is a very subtle transition taking place.

More MIT Student Work.   Also a link to the architects’ website.  This house makes beautiful use of the materiality of steel and its modification by time and weathering.
