Glatzegg Bus Stop

The bus stop is one of seven designed by international practices for a small mountain village, each paired with a regional partner architect and built by local craftspeople. This one is by a Chinese practice, working with a local architect.

The project links the ideas of visiting architects with the skills of local craft businesses, with the regional architect acting as a mediator between the two.

The shelter is a conical space conceived as a camera obscura. It is open at both ends to give a clear view in both directions, so that attention turns to the surrounding landscape rather than to the structure itself.
