Portable Bus shelters in Detroit
The bankrupt city has more than its share of abandoned housing, but at the same time, it has a lack of bus shelters, so designer Craig Wilkins decided to solve the problem by reusing abandoned house parts to make seating and shelter from the elements for the people waiting for a ride. Parts are either donated or salvaged and are assembled to create comfortable spaces that can be moved as routes or needs change. To make the stops a little more fun, artists create unique murals on each stop as well.
