designer's own words:

Insufficient oxygen means insufficient biological energy that can result in anything from mild fatigue to life threatening disease. Bus stop in a big city is probably the last place to get oxygen. To make it worse, people using bus stop can not go anywhere but have to wait until their bus arrives.

How can we provide insufficient oxygen to urban lives in cities with no green? How much energy do we need to achieve that? Our answer is O2 Station, a bus stop that collects sunlight from its solar panels on the roofs, then converting energy into electricity it provides power for the oxygen generator that ultimately emits oxygen through it's openings. Before the oxygen is emitted, it goes through an enclosed space where it gets mixed with temperature controlled air to become the most appropriate state to be inhaled. This station is not just giving out oxygen but it also provides with temperature controlled air for hot summer or cold winter. At night, the station will run by battery which is stored during the day in a battery cell.

O2 Station is not just another green bus station. It produces oxygen directly for people that needs it with only free green energy - solar energy. O2 Station is a step closer to nature.
