The precise intersection of public spaces and people lie in public furniture. Each piece, whether a transit shelter, park bench, or plaza table, is designed for people in the public realm, aiming to include every citizen. In this class, we aim to broaden the understanding of inclusivity within this exact intersection. Public furniture is intended to serve everyone, reflecting the grand idea behind inclusivity, and emphasizing the importance of considering it for creating better public spaces.
