RPI’s School of Architecture was
approached by the local city of Troy and
asked to assist with the revitalization of
the recently renovated waterfront property.
We were tasked with designing a range of
creative furniture pieces which could be
used to attract the local residents to utilize
the property. Each student worked with a
partner to research, design and prototype a
style of urban furniture which ranged from
benches and tables to playground sets.
The inspiration for the project came
from Toyo Ito’s public bench Naguisa
and the concept of expandable
form. Allowing for more than just
two connection points permits
expansion on multiple axis. As this
project was to be used by the general
public it needed to be designed for
single users as well as groups;.
This dictated the use of form to
generate various social interaction
depending on the arrangement of
the units. Depending on the social
intention of the bench section a
specifi c profi le was used to create
variation in duration of interaction.

As seen from the arrangements of
3, 4, or 5 units there are numerous
social interaction that can be achieve.
The center lines fl ow through each
unit and identify the expansion points.
Once arranged the directionality of
the wood slats as well as the center
lines seamlessly fl ow between
the units appearing to be a single
unit. The fi nal product is to be
composed of dense hardwood that
is naturally found in the northeast.
