Bus station in Santa Pola, Spain, by architects Manuel Lillo und Emilio Vicedo
IN TRANSIT GLORIA...

'If you want reality, take the bus.'

We've taken American photographer David LaChapelle's quote as point of departure (no pun intended) for a survey of new bus-station architecture internationally. No longer the poor cousin to airports and railway stations, bus stations and stops are exceeding their utilitarian function as they become highly expressive, place-making architectural landmarks, transforming anonymous transit spaces into destinations in themselves.

NEXT STOP: NEW BUS-STATION ARCHITECTURE

Text: Simon Keane-Cowell
Summer's here. Let's take a trip! Traditionally the poor cousin to more grandiose transport-architectural types like airports and railway stations, bus-station design is moving into top gear.

‘We’re all going on a summer holiday,’ sang a youthful Cliff Richard in his imaginatively titled screen musical Summer Holiday of 1963, where the quiffed teenage heartthrob and a gang of adolescent pleasure-seekers availed themselves of an iconic London double-decker bus to drive across continental Europe. The sun, the fun, the mechanical hi-jinks. (The movie was, of course, a mere vehicle – if you’ll excuse the pun – for the promotion of the rock-and-rolling poster boy.)

Bus stations, as building types go, however, have tended to get a bit of a raw deal when compared to the majesty of train stations and the glamour of airports. There are exceptions, of course, such as the art-deco splendour of London’s Victoria Coach Station (1932) and Dublin’s international-style Busáras (1945–53), designed by Ireland’s foremost architect of the age, Michael Scott, and replete with undulating concrete canopy, rooftop restaurant and cinema. And, of course, Preston Bus Station in the north of England, completed in 1969, whose brutalist expression recently saw the building achieve listed status.

N°21: JAIME HAYON

Jaime Hayon likes to tell stories. Decorative and playful, but in a subtle way, his work reflects his curiosity and joy, informed by an approach that might be described as somewhat naive.

Architonic spoke to the Spanish designer and artist, who likes to follow his intuition and enjoys doing whatever feels right.
Jaime Hayon: One material that I’ve always loved is ceramic. It can be poor but super elegant, extremely glossy and very rich. It is at the same time a very basic and high-quality material.
