DP3 proposes a self-iluminated tubular structure, covered in a clear canopy. The idea is to maximise the 360 view whilst waiting.
Illumination would operate at appropriate times and as a communication method. For instance, during the daytime the effect would be only to identify the location but could be colour-tuned to the approaching service - For instance a provider that has yellow branding, could be signalled by the waiting space also illuminating in yellow.
