“南湖荷驿”是佰筑对中国浙江省嘉兴市公交车站革新的一个亮眼的设计提案。

“Lotus Eco-Bus Stop” is an eye-catching proposal for the new generation of bus stops in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, China.

该提案的公交车站位于中国嘉兴市的环城南路，紧邻历史悠久的环城河。由于其与公园和河流的直接相邻，使这个站点成为了自然景观和城市特色交汇的重要节点。

The proposal is located in Huancheng Nan Road, Jiaxing, China. The site is next to the historical Huancheng river which provides a very interesting balance between natural and urban character since is indirect relation with a park, but at the same time located in a very consolidated urban space.

该提案以江南文化中的荷叶为灵感来源，希望出现在山水画中的荷也可以出现在嘉兴市民的生活场景中。由此，我们采取的设计概念是将荷叶放大到驿站的尺度，从而创建一片为城市公共交通使用者提供的荫庇。

The proposal is strongly inspired by nature connected to South China Culture, dragging inspiration from Lotus plants, often seen in Chinese Paintings from the South. The design strategy is over-scaling the Lotus plants in order to create structures which offer shelter to citizens and users of the bus public transportation.

座位与花池也受关联意象的启发，设计成了湖底石的形态。

The seating features and flower pots within the proposal, are also inspired by nature, designed as rolling stones where people can sit on.

地面图案则模拟荷叶在水面的投影设计成了抽象的荷叶形状，与荷叶亭相呼应。

To complete a very nature-driven proposal, floor graphics are added to the design, mimicking the shadows of the Lotus leaves projected on the ground.

另外，荷叶的自然形状实际上完美地扮演了雨水收集者的角色，使得我们可以重新利用这些水来灌溉公交站中的绿色植被。

The natural shape of Lotus plants acts as rainwater collectors, allowing us to reuse the water for the irrigation of the new vegetation decorating the bus stop.

每个荷叶的顶部都装有一个太阳能电池板，为站点的屏幕和乘客的手机充电而储备足够的电能，并为晚上点亮场地的LED灯提供能源。

Each Lotus plant is equipped with a solar panel on the top, to collect enough energy to recharge the phone batteries of users and light up the LED lighting at night.

我们希望设计的不仅是一个遮风挡雨的建筑物而已，更是可以成为嘉兴市独特的“嘉兴印象地标”。

The design of this Eco-Bus Stop is not only thought as a sheltering structure, but also as eye-catching and recognizable Urban Landmark for the city of Jiaxing.
