Parabolic Bus Stop 抛物线公交车站
This bus stop is an experiment with building material limitations. As such, weight tests were imposed, and strength and durability were sought after. A thin shell concrete, designed with a doubly curved parabolic arch, and reduced to a ruled surface was chosen. The final structure provided ample strength, and exceeded tests of 10 tons.

这个公共汽车站是对建筑材料极限的实验。在进行重量试验的同时，寻求强度和耐久性。选用薄壳混凝土，采用双弯抛物面拱形设计，选择简化的直纹曲面。最终的结构提供了足够的强度，超过了10吨的重量测试。
