# Recycled-Steel Bus Stations The Amazon Bus Station in Belém Cuts Carbon Emissions by 70% By Amy Duong | Published 2025-11-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-bus-station References: [architizer](https://architizer.com/projects/amazon-bus-station/)  The [Amazon Bus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Sustainable-data-centers) Station in Belém uses [reclaimed metal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-reclaimed-pavilion) to reduce its environmental impact by basing the entire structure on a lightweight recycled steel frame that minimises material use and simplifies fabrication. The open layout relies on a triangulated geometry that keeps the roof lifted above the ground plane and creates shaded space for waiting passengers. The glass envelope filters harsh sunlight and introduces natural ventilation so the interior remains comfortable without depending on mechanical cooling. These choices allow the shelter to perform well in a hot climate while keeping maintenance demands low. The project grows from local consultation and aims to combine comfort with durability in a public setting. The design remains easy to assemble through [prefabricated components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allspace-1) and sits lightly on its site, reducing disruption during installation. The result is a contemporary transit shelter that folds sustainability, climate awareness and user needs into a clear architectural expression.
