MUSHROOM-ED BUS STOP
A fun twist to public transport node
The site is already a well used space as a key connection to the public transport network in Chorlton. The proposal for the bus stop space is to create an attraction or landmark space that encourages communal activities as well as promote the use of public transport in Chorlton.
The students intervention included a mural that can form part of the Chorlton art festival and be used to promote local artist or messages to people.
The umbrella seating seeks to provide sheltered seating, a communal space to meet and gather in Chorlton. This idea is to attract people to the bus stop creating a hub and promoting the use of public transport and encourage more investment into the infrastructure of Chorlton.
