Shelter, Sanctuary Sustainability

• Bus Shelter Design Activity

Sustainability and Society...........

• In order to reach our environmental targets we
  need to encourage more people to use public
  transport.
• What are the blocks to greater public usage of
  public transport?
• What can be done to remove these obstacles?
• Can we take this opportunity to address wider
  issues in society such as violence and
  anti-social behaviour?

Discuss and record the points raised.

Some Shelter!................

• Bus shelters and train stations are often lonely,
  intimidating even scary places to be on your own.
• Too often they are used as meeting places for
  gangs and anti-social groups or individuals.
• When people step off the bus or train they feel
  suddenly alone and exposed.
• What can we do about this situation?

Sanctuary..

• What if instead of being as described on the
  previous slide the bus shelter was a sanctuary?
• What if it became a place of refuge?
• What if it communicated with you and anyone else
  coming near?
• So how would we create it?
• What would it have to do to fulfil this ideal?

Sanctuary..

• Specification

  technologies inc. video, telecommunications,
  Bluetooth handshaking, iris recognition.
• Full range of sensors, data logging and evidence
  capturing technologies inc. proximity sensors,
  video capture and transmit, auditory sensing and
  recording, DNA sampling, pressure sensing.
• Networked to other intelligent street elements
  such as lamp posts, waste bins, park benches etc.
  that would walk you home and check with your
  mobile phone that you had arrived.
• What additional features would we have to include
  to meet the needs of the homeless?
