Sleeping in Public

Opening context:
Interchange, Small Public Squares, Public Outdoor Room, Street Café, Pedestrian Street

Conflict

It is a mark of success in a park, public lobby or a porch, when people can come there and fall asleep.

Resolution

Keep the environment filled with ample benches, comfortable places, corners to sit on the ground, or lie in comfort in the sand. Make these places relatively sheltered, protected from circulation, perhaps up a step, with seats and grass to slump down upon, read the paper and doze off.

Closing context:
Building Edge, Bed Alcove, Seat Spots
