Smoker's Shelters: A Hot New Design Frontier?
“It makes you want to smoke so you can be in it.”
These days, there are few habits considered more passé than smoking. New York City started the smoking ban trend, but now lighting up is limited or outlawed in a staggering number of public spaces in cities all over the world. As a result, smokers are often relegated not just to the outdoors, but to restricted, designated spaces away from building entrances that may or may not provide any shelter.
That’s why one of the more surprising architectural creations being recognized within the design world this year is a shelter specifically for smoking.
