THE AWNING

The awning of the Tilburg bus station consisting of a steel framework covered with ETFE-foil covers not
only the bus platforms but additionally part of the buses, thereby sheltering the travelers from
extremities of the weather , The basic set-up consists of a series of very thin columns with an even,
minimalistic awning structure on top of them
 THE ROOF 13

The roof has an articulated structure, and moreover, seems to float, just like the bus station awning.
Thus, travellers can always board and de-board sheltered and protected from rain. The structure
consists of a steel framework covered with ETFE-foil. The lighting is fitted above this foil. During the
day, the awning filters the sunlight, while during the dark hours, it becomes one large and spacious
lighting element that strongly adds to the travellers’ feeling of safety.
DESIGN 11

CONSIDERATIONS
The bus station was also designed for inclusiveness.
For example, the elevated terrace can be reached by
wheel chairs through a ramp and the hand rails
between the terrace and the platforms have been
provided with braille signing.
Based on considerations regarding aesthetics as well
as comfort, functionality and the use of materials, a
lot of attention was paid to a set-up, materialization
and detailing that is as elementary as possible.
250 m2 of solar panels lie atop of the awning. The
structure consists of a steel framework covered with
ETFE-foil. these are incorporated to fulfil the self
sustainable goal.
