Kit-of-Parts for Outdoor Programming
About
This kit-of-parts supports educational programming and utilizes public space for temporary activations. Each kit can be created with accessible, affordable off-the-shelf materials. The elements are intended to be extremely simple to construct, durable enough for a prolonged outdoor setting, and easy to break down and store. The core element, a simple bench, can be utilized and combined in numerous ways: as seating and shading, as a base for dividers or vertical boards, or shelving.
