GO BANANAS! Shelter
This is a redesign of a standard bus shelter. The recipe: small pops of fun in Auckland City with a splash of rainbow and a spoonful of character. Bus shelters have the potential to host small yet powerful interpersonal interactions. This shelter can be used as a platform for these interactions, bringing joy amongst people in the city.
