“The Big Wait” – Turning Waiting Time into Quality Time

During the project, The Big Wait in the summer semester of 2021, I collaborated with Sara Sieff on a small-scale architectural design. With Shelter 210, we introduced a literal 90° twist to the conventional bus stop. This subtle shift in perspective allowed us to reconsider many aspects of what a shelter can be—from how it is accessed to how it offers comfort while people wait. The design consists of five modular units that can be combined in numerous configurations, following a proportional grid. This system creates a shelter that seamlessly adapts to its location and users’ needs.

Final Versions

The final combinations of the modules. They can be adjusted individually to fit different traffic scenarios and urban layouts perfectly.

Features

Follow our design process and explore the project’s technical features, including water drainage, modularity, ergonomic design, and a carefully curated colour palette inspired by the buses of South Tyrol and the South Tyrol Transport logo.
