# Sluggish Seating The Bus Stop Symbiosis WIns First Prize for ADDICT 2010 By Meghan Young | Published 2010-08-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bus-stop-symbiosis References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/bus-stop-symbiosis-an-interactive-seating-arrangement-for-the-waiting/) & [likearchitects](http://www.likearchitects.com/) I don't know about you, but the Bus Stop Symbiosis looks like one big slug to me. A unique seating option, it is (fortunately) more endearing than grotesque at least. Considering its interesting silhouette, it probably raised more than a few eyebrows before people realized it was a public seating. Designed by Like Architects, the Bus Stop Symbiosis won first place in the ADDICT 2010 artistic intervention category. A temporary structure, hopefully the city will demand that it became a permanent fixture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Public Seating Design:** Designing innovative public seating structures that capture people's attention and imagination. - **Temporary Public Installations:** Creating unique and interactive temporary public installations that bring art and function together. - **Sustainable Urban Design:** Designing sustainable, eco-friendly urban structures that enhance the surrounding environment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Public Art and Design:** Companies that specialize in creating public art that blends creativity and functionality in urban spaces. - **Architecture and Design Firms:** Companies that provide innovative design solutions for both public and private spaces. - **Municipal and Urban Planning:** Organizations that work with cities to create sustainable and functional public spaces through strategic urban planning. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Public Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-public-seating.md) - [City-Honoring Furniture Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/symbiotic-urban-furniture-project.md) - [Inflatable Molded Collective Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/situation.md) - [Traffic Light-Inspired Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traffic-light-bench.md) - [Waste Tarp-Made Public Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/membran-collective.md) - [Adaptive Public Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adp-bench.md) - [Urban Structural Street Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/symbiotic-urban-furniture.md) - [Multifunctional Transport Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubblic-public.md) - [Inflated Vibrant Futuristic Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mutated-school-bus.md)
