by Wenkai Xue for Luxun Academy of Fine Arts

Tubedex, a new bus stop designed for post industrial cities, draws inspiration from industrial pipes and gives it a modern aesthetic by deconstructing this iconic element while preserving traces of industrial history. The design uses an interactive interface to ensure high recognition while clearly displaying real time bus information, significantly enhancing the user experience. Tubedex not only continues the industrial memory of the city, but also breathes new life into public facilities through innovative design.
