Concept

The aim of the project was to locate a site, design and reprogram a bus stop and curate a narrative about the bus experience. The site is located at Terminal 4, Kuwait International Airport. After analysing the site and studying the contextual/guiding forces, a diagram was generated to act as a guide throughout the design process. I approached the designing process respecting contextuality and user experience. My aim was to design a bus stop that is responsive to its environment, thoughtful of its users and aesthetically complement its surroundings.

User experience is crucial when it comes to designing comfortable spaces, especially at airports (the most chaotic places on earth). Because it is located at an airport, it will be more demanding than a standard bus stop. Following the existing views on site, the design consists of two opposite seating areas that are semi-replicate of each other. Visible and accessible luggage storage spaces where provided ( I call them luggage racks, also functioning as book shelfs).
