Converting passenger bus furniture into residential furniture

Abstract

Abstract:

 The current research focuses on studying furniture and space through the exploitation of space, as well as developing solutions and concepts for redesigning and repurposing furniture. This includes the exploitation of buses and converting their furniture into residential spaces. The research problem emerged with the following question: What are the design capabilities that contribute to transforming passenger bus furniture into residential furniture? The importance of the research lies in its presentation of design foundations (theoretical and applied). Its components are derived from scientific research and analysis to benefit from them in developing the capabilities of designers and specialists. The current research aims to provide specialized knowledge through the possibility of completely transforming and changing the function of furniture in a place, transforming it from a service space for transporting passengers to furniture for a residential facility. A design proposal is also being prepared. The theoretical study included the concept of transformation. Chapter Three covered the research methodology and procedures, relying on a case study and description through a questionnaire prepared by the researchers, followed by an analysis of the case. Finally, Chapter Four contained the proposed design, which illustrated the furniture for three spaces: the bedroom, the kitchen, and the living room.
