Reinvented Bus Stops By World Renowned Architects

Scroll

Renowned architects from all over the world were invited to design bus stops in the Austrian village of Krumbach in exchange for a free holiday there.

“The aim of this project is to link design achievements of international architecture with the know-how and skills of local handcraft-based businesses.”The project, entitled Bus:Stop, allowed the village to be able to enjoy waiting for buses at these exceptional bus stops designed by the likes of Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, Chinese architect Wang Shu, Belgium’s Architecten de Vylder Vinck Taillieu studio and Chilean architect Smiljan Radić. “The aim of this project is to link design achievements of international architecture with the know-how and skills of local handcraft-based businesses in the Bregenzerwald,” explained the project’s instigators in an interview. “This is made possible by involving regional architects as a kind of mediator between ‘foreign’ creative work and the abilities of our craftspeople.”
