The Wave local bus station is a conceptual design submitted for a competition in a small-town area of the Shenzhen province in China. As Shenzhen is known for its proximity to the sea and the iconic Shenzhen Bay, the design concept was inspired by the region's association with water and waves. Extensive research was conducted on the location and culture to ensure the design was well-suited to the area.
The focus then shifted towards realizing a wave design that met engineering and constructive requirements, and simulations of the specific waves in Shenzhen Bay were used to create the final design. The result is a bus stop with a unique wave-shaped design that is not only visually appealing but also highly functional. The shape of the bus stop provides excellent wind resistance and flexibility, making it a highly practical and sustainable solution for the area.
Overall, the Wave local bus station is an innovative design that blends functionality and aesthetics. It is a testament to the power of research-driven design, which ensures that the final product is not only beautiful but also highly effective in meeting the needs of the community.
