CREATIVE PROCESS

Traffic Control:
Impounded ‘Danfo buses’ by the NPF, FRSC, NPO & VIO can be auctioned and modified to mobile stalls for traders’ use. The farm produce and provision are categorized into six (6) different groups, namely: Fruits; Vegetables; Animal produce; Processed food items; Toiletries & beverages; Grains & cereals.

Danfo Bus Transformation:
Volkswagen Vanagon bus is used as the prototype. The passengers’ seat, windows, and back roof cover are removed to increase the headroom and create a variation of back and/or side servery opening options.

Roof Concept:
The concept revolves around the “GRAB PHENOMENON”. This form concept is an appraisal of and deducted from the posture the hand makes while picking wares up in the market for examination before purchase by the customers.

Popis projektu

In a bid to appraise this market culture and capture it’s depression over time due to the corona-virus pandemic, we have adapted this form that has allowed us a functional space allocation and cater for our yearning for an aesthetic outlook.

The modality of this market model will enable the replication and adaptation in different neighbourhoods to reduce the need of walking long distances to get food and essentials. Further adaptation techniques is the actual movement of each repoed danfo to each doorstep to deliver food and essentials to people living there I.e they do not need to leave their homes during the pandemic.
