Old Soviet bus stop in ex-Soviet country.

    Strikes me as a good example of pragmatic Soviet design

    • Rear wall protects occupants from North winds
    • Positive pressure zones at sides lessen precipitation ingress
    • Upward air foil blocks snow like invisible awning
    • Interior morphology allows it to function as a small stage that passively amplifies audio in a radial frustum centered at waist height, best for children or seated adults
    • Bench-free design promotes strong bones and strong character, unlike American bus stop

    Those mini-concerts at the Soviet bus stop are amazing, can't believe tiktokers haven't picked up on it yet.
