Solar Powered Bus Shelters
Lundberg Design has won a competition put on by Clear Channel, and MTA to create a new bus shelter model for the city of San Francisco. The original design called for photovoltaic cells that were housed in a glass canopy. 3-Form, agreed to create the wave like roof panels that were designed to replicate the hills of the city. Instead of glass, the company created a polycarbonate that was made up of 40% pre consumer recycled material. 3-Form will be manufacturing 1,100 of the shelters for the city within the next five years.
Shown in the picture below are the organic photovoltaic panels. These Power Plastic Strips are created by Konarka and grab enough of the sun's energy to not only power the shelters, moreover to put power back on the city's grid.
3-Form makes many low impact architectural products. The 3 major lines are Varia Ecoresin, 100 Percent, and Chroma. All of these lines are SCS, and Greenguard certified. Varia Ecoresin is manufactured with a minimum of 40% post consumer recycled material. The 100 percent line, as its name suggests is made of 100% post consumer recycled material. It is recyclable and is made from materials such has milk and detergent bottles. The Chroma consists of resin panels that can continuously be re-surfaced, and re-colored. Below are some interior installations of 3-Form products.
