1. A playful and “obvious” bus stop created by a Spanish collective for the city of Baltimore
In 2014, people waiting for the bus on South East Avenue in the Highlandtown neighborhood of Baltimore were treated to a public art sculpture. A Madrid-based artist collective, Mmmm, created the “obvious bus stop.” So obvious, in fact, it makes you wonder why the world isn’t full of 14-foot-tall, 7-foot-wide three-letter bus stop typography sculptures that spell out the word BUS.
The shelter is the kind of playful design that encourages people to relax and interact. It’s built like a traditional street bench, with wood planks screwed to a steel structure that supports weight and prevents vandalism.
