Circular San Antonio is excited to invite you to a special design charrette for a bus stop and shade structure on November 19th, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, in the Monterey Gallery Space (UTSA Downtown Campus). This event brings together the community, including students, professionals, artists, and anyone interested in implementing circularity and reducing the urban heat island effect. Together, we will narrow down ideas from the last design charrette and focus our efforts on designing a "Perch seating and shading structure." This sustainable design will serve San Antonio's public transit system.
In partnership with the CoSA Office of Sustainability + Office of Historic Preservation and VIA Metropolitan Transit, Circular San Antonio is leading this effort to create a bus stop and shade structure utilizing reclaimed materials. This project will set a precedent for using circular resources in public infrastructure, demonstrating the value of sustainable design for the community. Attendees will collaborate with local artists, students from UTSA and SAC, and professionals from VIA and CoSA to develop design ideas that could be implemented within the next 12 months.
Please bring your ideas, something to write with, and something to write on, as we’ll be brainstorming and sketching during the session.
Parking will be available at Monterey Lot (Monterey Lot, San Antonio, TX 78207), and guests will be issued temporary parking passes upon arrival.
This project is supported by the City of San Antonio Office of Sustainability Community Action Fund.
