Natura Minima is a concept for creating customized 3D printing bus stops in Dubai.
The project is based on a system that encompasses several sheltering forms, populated by minimal surfaces which confer geometrical complexity while minimizing the built area.
Each bus stop is designed through an optimization algorithm for strategic material allocation in order to minimize the material usage through a performative perforation.
The emergent aesthetic resembles the morphologic intricacy and elegance of natural forms such as the coral typically found in the UAE.
