The Garden Benches











To further my understanding of the Powers of Ten I decided to focus on a community/student garden project involving the manufacture of bench/storage pieces. To emphasize the notion of community I began working off of a spiral idea as its ascension is relative to its origin and the circular form unifies those within. The benches must unify the people working around them in the garden as well as have a story of connection built into their design. I decided to imply this aesthetic connection by breaking the spiral so that one's imagination and curiosity completes the spiral. This break also functions to allow both people and wheelbarrows free traversal.
