The design of the bus shelter is conceived as a robust demonstration of the possibilities of the use of bamboo aided by steel as a material actively participating in public projects of the future.
In the absence of certified timber-based plantations in India; bamboo has become one of the most compelling natural materials to architecturally respond to environmental challenges. In fact, a pragmatic application of using a mix of industrial and natural materials for example steel and bamboo are the demanding aesthetics of the new age.
Our intent is to create tectonics of bamboo and steel for public use. A necessary impetus to the application of bamboo and its wider acceptability is desired for India. We imagine that our suggestions should increase the demand for future projects in bamboo and support enterprise and employment within the sector like other skills of fabrication, carpentry, and masonry.
