When deciding what to design and model, I drew inspiration from some of the bus shelters shown in the assignment. I wanted my structure to be both symmetrical and scalable, which led me to develop a system based on three primary curves. The curves are formed from geometric inputs: height at mid, height at exteriors, width of shelter, width of base and length. These curves act as the main structural supports. Perpendicular curves connect them, functioning as secondary supports, and both sets are modeled as three-point tubes.
Between the smaller supports, I incorporated adaptive panels whose quantity can be easily adjusted. This flexibility allows the structure to scale and adapt to different contexts. Because the design includes many adjustable inputs, I was able to generate a wide variety of forms from the same underlying program. While the design works well as a bus shelter, it could also be applied to other settings, such as park installations or as an arch over an entrance. Some of the models I was able to create can be seen in the following figures.
In developing my Dynamo graph, I organized all user inputs into clearly labeled green groups so it is easy to identify where modifications can be made. The remaining components are grouped and named based on their specific function within the model, improving clarity and usability.
