  I explain to you; the concept arises from the new ways of using conventional banks. It is enough to walk around a park or square and look at the position adopted by users, especially the youngest, using the upper edge of the backrest as a seat and the base of the bench as a support for the feet. On the basis that these alternative uses degrade street furniture a lot and are a source of anger for the rest of the users, I began to work with the idea of a new structure that allows precisely this type of alternative uses. Therefore, the upper part acts as a seat, while the sloping base serves as support for the feet and in turn supports the bench on the ground. The base material, according to the contest, should be concrete due to its durability and low maintenance. With these initial hypotheses and in order to reduce the volume to a minimum and provide the piece with greater dynamism, bi-polar emerged, a piece designed with two asymmetric support points that allow an alternative position with respect to the immediate environment and enjoy differently from an everyday act such as sitting.
