reated in 2002 by conceptual artist/sculptor, Dennis
Oppenheim(1938-2011),
"Bus Home" remains one of
the most talked about pieces of his portfolio. Standing
36 feet tall at its highest point, the work depicts a bus
transitioning into a house. When it was erected,
residents of Ventura either liked it or hated it. Some
recognized the artistic value of the piece; others
considered it a magnificent waste of money, claiming
the bus stop was impractical and offered no shelter
from the rain. In addition, improper techniques used
by the paint contractor during its construction caused
the structure to rust and decay in just a few short
years. It gave the haters even more reason to dislike it.
"It was also requested that the new shelters be
impervious to vandalism and loitering, and provide
maximum visibility to surrounding businesses," he
added.The team see the structures as a model for sustainable
urban development. They were all constructed with
reclaimed and locally available materials - mostly steel
- to lower the cost per unit.
"While conducting research, we were struck by the
amount of people we witnessed standing by light poles
or nearby utility boxes even though a conventional
shelter was only a few feet away. It became clear that the
conventional mail-order bus shelter was not necessary
in the sunny California climate," added the architect.
