Bus Station
Yuzhny bus station: a white volume with blue accents and a glazed facade behind diagonal struts, set next to a public garden with a ring-shaped pavilion, a playground and a web of paths.
The project treats the bus station as a node of the district rather than a standalone building. The station stands on a corner at a junction, opposite high-rise housing, and opens towards the pedestrian crossings. Behind it lies a public garden: diagonal paths connect the station to the surrounding blocks, with a ring-shaped pavilion around a small courtyard at the centre and a playground nearby. Passengers waiting for a coach and local residents share the same space.
The station is assembled from simple white volumes under a sloping roof that overhangs the entrance and provides shade. The long glazed facade of the waiting hall sits behind a fan of white diagonal struts, the entrance is framed by a blue portal, and the same blue recurs in the plinth, the benches and the garden pavilions. The name, Avtovokzal Yuzhny, is set in large letters on a blank end wall, readable from the junction.
Transport architecture is reduced to the essentials: a broad roof, one legible hall and clear routes from the bays to the entrance. For the city, it is a renewed gateway and a public space that works even when no buses are running. A simple structure and a small palette of materials keep construction and maintenance costs reasonable. TVORZI delivered the concept, the architectural design and the engineering.
