Bush Stop reimagines the everyday bus shelter as more than a place to wait — it becomes a living piece of urban infrastructure that cools, cleans, and connects. Designed by SPARK Architects with partners Cundall and Nature Landscapes, the prototype demonstrates how small-scale interventions can deliver outsized impact for climate resilience and community well-being. With sustainable construction, native planting, and community-focused features, Bush Stop is a quiet provocation that asks us to see cities differently, as places where even the simplest structures can spark civic imagination and nurture a more resilient urban future.

SPARK Architects BARE (Bio-Anaerobic-Rubbish-Eater) tackles global food waste by transforming discarded food into clean energy and fertiliser. Designed as a bear-shaped civic icon, it blends sustainability, public art, and education—making waste management visible, engaging, and future-focused.
