The pillars will be situated in a natural pattern - eliminating any form
of hierarchy or specific path of entrance emphasizing equality among
people. The interaction or activity is determined by the way the space
is used. It can support a meeting between two people or a small group/s
and up to a public/communal lecture/speech/debate.

This site is for gathering proposals for a 'democracy bench', and for an online jury of 180 people to vote on it. The winning proposal gets £1800 to make it happen.

Out of all of the submissions, this one has the most actual seats, which I think is relevant for the number of people who contributed to the benches founding.
I would be surprised if we could get a bench that would seat all £200 of us but 36 is closer than some of the other proposals, plus it could be added to over time by the council perhaps?
This flexible design creates a space to encourage democracy and much more. You could quite easily imagine an open air debate, class or show taking place at the centre of these benches. Plus we all get one fifth of a seat each
Valid point about 1/5 of a seat each. Lets hope we can make these large enough to squeeze 5 left bumcheeks onto (and then balance precariously)
