FD19: Build a Better Bus Stop
I am so excited about this year’s prompt for our annual design competition. As someone who often stands at bus stops, I know how important it is to have a bench. As someone who often stands at bus stops in Dallas in August, I know how nice it would be to have a little shade. So, how can we use digital fabrication to provide these elements? And how can we help reduce particulate matter pollution? That’s where you come in.
Help us design a better bus stop. To learn more about how you can do this, come to our workshop on January 30 at 700 West Davis from 6-8, or send us a note. And then sign up your team for FD19 by February 4 (we’ll cap it at 10 teams). You’ll get $250, four hours on our CNC, and the possibility of winning $1,000. Plus you’ll get bragging rights as this year’s FD winner.
And thank you to our sponsor, Nunzio Marc Desantis Architects!




I love how this design competition focuses on a practical problem that people experience every day. Providing shade and seating at bus stops while also addressing air pollution makes the challenge both creative and meaningful. The team-based competition aspect sounds exciting too, much like Basketball Random, where creativity and quick decisions can lead to surprising results. It would be great to see the innovative bus stop ideas that come out of this event.

Love seeing projects focused on improving everyday public transit experiences. Even small upgrades to bus stops can make communities feel more connected, accessible, and welcoming. The smooth coordination behind projects like this somehow reminds me of navigating fast-paced levels in space waves.
