The Bus Stops of Krumbach

From Quartz:

In most cities, the bus stop is the lowliest piece of urban infrastructure. Not so in Krumbach, a small, rural town in a region of Austria known as Bucklige Welt (“hunchbacked world”) because of its hilly landscape.

Last year, the town’s cultural association invited seven architects from Chile, Russia, China, Norway, Spain, Belgium, and Japan to design bus shelters for its 1,000 residents.  … The bus stops opened this month, accompanied by an exhibition at the Vorarlberg Architecture Institute.

Here are three.
