Equipped with hybrid programming, these kiosks take on the notion of “micro-urbanism”. Through the carefully controlled formal theme and variations, the twelve kiosks as a whole compose a unique urban landscape. The art-deco inspired custom-made pattern glass panels echo the historic architecture of the neighborhood. With solar panels on the roof supplying 180 watts per hour of exterior LED lighting, the kiosks become new environmental prototypes.
