PAM Kuching Bus Stop Competition 2021
PAM Kuching Bus Stop Competition 2021
RE : KBS (Kuching Bus Stop), where 'RE' means RE-invent, RE-shape, and RE-imagine the future bus stop. This project discussed how the daily experience of commuters can be enhanced by redesigning the bus stop as a portal with meaningful activities, joy, and daily needs. As the public bus is getting less attractive due to several factors, such as safety, reliability (punctuality), and services, RE-designing a bus stop that helps to improve customer satisfaction and accessible services is crucial to promote public bus as an attractive mode of transport. Thus, the idea of this project is to transform the conventional bus stop into a more welcoming environment providing the public with a well-considerate and more secure design where it encourages them to use public transport more often. To design a bus stop for the local community in Kuching, a city with rich ethnic culture and history, the proposal was designed in a way it resembles the traditional houses from the local villages. To show the local identity of the city, the decorative side panels and elevated stilts were implemented as part of the bus stop design. The entire bus stop was elevated to prevent rainwater and debris accumulate inside the shelter. Furthermore, as the bus stop needs to be future-proof to adapt to the rapid development world, modular systems designs were incorporated to allow the design to be portable. With this system, modular blocks can be easily manufactured, assembled, dismantle and reuse where they could be built in different site conditions and enhance the circular economy in terms of the construction. With all the design strategies, the proposed bus stop design act as the catalyst, enriching the experience in Kuching city to enhance the lifestyle of the commuters meanwhile promote Kuching as a sustainable city.

Image 01 Description
​
The background of the image is in Valencia during the Medieval Era. Soldiers kneeled to King (Citizen & Government), But King and soldiers were controlled by the system (Orange, Valencia is famous with orange). However, the system is corrupted (Rotten Orange). The machine inside orange metaphor that the human was dominated by the technology nowadays.
Image 02 Description
​
The urban district as background. City/Urban are considered safe and convenient in general. However, it also means that the city was being monitored 24/7 by the superior/ government. Orange is monitoring equipment & also all around the city; the harmless thing will become a weapon one day. It all depends on the user.
Image 03 Description
​
The background is in the typical street in Valencia. (The orange tree can be found easily on the roadside of Valencia). The life of the orange is terminated by the iron monster(the Orange harvesting machine).
