New canopies for bus and subway stations for Frankfurt were designed and should be installed throughout the city. The canopy structure consists of miscellaneous angular pieces of steel and glass. The seating area is made of wood and can be mounted at different levels.
The structure has numerous assembly possibilities, according to the requirements and location it can be built in different sizes. All necessary equipment including lighting and information displays is integrated into the structural elements. With an energy-saving LED lighting system a uniform illumination is achieved. The roofs are designed so that it is possible to also install photovoltaics to secure the power supply.
