the purpose of my project is for people to be able to come and sit down together to have a talk and get to know each other no matter what race, ethnicity, age or gender. My intention is to try and get people to talk to a neighbor they might have lived next to for years but know nothing but their name or less. My bench is accessible to all people of every age, even people with disabilities can sit down and enjoy a nice day. I've designed my bench to be for for any age. it provides the right amount of comfort for people to sit down and have a nice conversation with each other. This bench is perfect for couples going on a date or for families to be able to go and enjoy maybe a small pick-nick. My bench will be located in Milton lee olive park in downtown Chicago for people who want to have a nice peaceful day with nature. As a young girl ive always like visiting the parks and beaches located downtown, but all the walking can make anyone tired, but sitting in an ordinary bench is considered a waste of time and boring. My bench gives the kids something fun to sit in, gives grandparents something peaceful to experience, and couples something romantic to remember. With its beautiful view its already an attraction. Lastly is provides an umbrella over the top to give anyone sitting some type of shelter or shade.
