The bus shelter
AlsoSCRAP: BUS SHELTER; bus_shelter_FINAL_final.dwg; the shelter facing the wrong way
Teo's first built project, a bus shelter by the harbour installed facing the wrong way, open side into the wind, which worked better backwards because people stood behind it; nobody checked the drawing, and the CHK box stays empty his whole career until Noor fills it.

"Small story, while the ink dries." Teo tells it on a scrap of kraft paper: his first shelter went in backwards, open to the wind, and people stood behind it for years, out of the wind. It worked better backwards. The point is the box nobody filled: "Nobody checked the drawing." It is the story Episode 2 pays off when a ten-year-old checks Rev B. After that the shelter is a file in someone's Downloads and a letter about it in their Documents, and in Episode 4 old chess players sit out of the wind behind a shelter in the park.
