Day one

First I looked at the differences between London, Barcelona and New York bus stops.



What I did notice is that Barcelona bus stops are often solar powered and are bold but simple with the colours they use. New York bus stops seem to be strongly supported by advertising this makes them seem very different. Unlike London bus stops which all seem to be extremely similar when it comes from location to location.


This lead me to look as social seating so I looked at Alfredo Haberli
His work inishally intrested me as he he wanred his seating to have more that just the purpose to me sat one. He wanted to bring people together, this mult funtioning seating could be used from a number of differnet things so that people could be together but not having to do the same thing. Eg this seats below are designed so that you can sit talking to on another, however still see the view around you, also to be used to lean on and could me used as a goal or some kind of climing frame.

And Martin Niclausso

His work intrested me as he wanted to take spaces that wont being used for anything and turne them into socail spaces, spaces people could stop and have a break, have a chat. This strongly fits in with the tradional spanish way of life.
