Architects have much more relevant goals in mind than creating buildings that stretch into the heavens or topple over each other like weightless blocks, many are attempting to solve today's problems -- resource scarcity, overpopulation, decaying infrastructure, poor transportation. When nature has a problem, evolution weeds out what doesn’t work and selects the most effective adaptations. Biomimicry has been helping inventors, designers and architects innovate in genius ways for centuries , its value has become even more apparent in the past few years as we realize that Mother Nature is one of the universe's most incredible designers. architects facing a design dilemma could address problems by using biomimicry — examining nature’s solutions and applying them to human designs, devising the schools, assisted living centers, museums and residences of tomorrow. The results can be physically fantastical, but most often, it's the problem-solving behind a design that blows our minds.

On the top of the shelter of the light rail stop is a garden of vines and flowers, not only are they ornamental to the design, they provide shading for the space as they climb and twist around the mesh grids. Not only will this improve the atmosphere  with soft casting sunlight through the leaves but also the experience of waiting for the light rail and emphasizing the beauty of nature.

As rain fall onto the roof top garden, hidden pipes carries the excess water down towards the ground to prevent flooding and also directing water to the plants under the shelter, water could also be recycled and filtered to provide drinking fountains at the station.

Both the mesh grid and the fence are designed to be made out of recycled plastic, while being durable and easily maintained, they can be recycled and reused again.

As an observation; some people likes to have a little snack or drink as they wait for public transport and because some foods are not allowed on public transport, a bin is conveniently located at the entrance so people can expose any unwanted rubbish before boarding the light rail in prevention of littering.

In plan, the light rail stop looks like a scale balance symbolizing the equal amount of attention we need to pay towards both human development and the sustainability of nature, currently man has sacrificed environment in order to proceed our development thus why the bridge is not balanced, highlighting the lack of effort towards sustainability.
