Government of Goa in its thrust to promote public transport, began upgrading their Bus stands in the state of Goa. The first one was in Canacona, a small town in south of Goa. We strived to make the building and its structure interesting and more importantly a space which the commuters and the residents would relate to. We took inspiration from the local landscape of palm trees and the festivities of Shigmo/ Holi and devised a plan. The design was a big hit and won numerous awards
Dear RahulI caught a glimpse of the Canacona Bus stand roof- which looked monumental and calm. But now I see that the trusses themselves are absolutely exquisitely formed. There is an intense poetic expression that one seldom sees in Architecture- anywhere.
