New bus has cinema screen bodywork
December 20, 2013

Buses are a major part of every modern city's iconography, but rarely are they considered visually appealing. Tad Orlowski has designed a concept bus that uses technology to transform the appearance of city landscapes for the better.

Both sides of the Willie bus are made of transparent LCD screens. The most likely application for the giant screens would of course be advertising, but in theory they could show artistic films, route plans, weather reports and tourist information.
The Willie bus is not the first attempt that has been made to beautify buses. Others have sought to transform the vehicles’ roofs into mobile gardens.

According to the creator of Photokinetic, Marc Grañen, “The lungs of a city must grow at the same rate as its population, but much-needed green areas are not always available."
Photokinetic has grown out of this supposition, with the goal of delivering a practical and tangible solution. If finding new urban spaces for gardens is problematic, we can use spaces that already exist, such as the roofs of city public transport.
