Word of Mouth Urban bench
Starting from common associations of eyes with visionary perceptions of the surrounding environment and respective associations of mouth to oral communication, both shapes are reflected on the shape and openings of the design. Mouth is brought forward to emphasize storytelling or worth of mouth, while the eye opening is placed at the back hinting a more secondary or less prominent attribute of communication. Word of mouth remains the most powerful method of human communication, while its power is recognized as a promotional and marketing tool since it can spread communication quickly. Word of mouth street bench is unique in its inception since apart from offering sitting and reclining ergonomics to the urban setting, it can convert the landscape to an open educational library to visually impaired people. New channels of knowledge dissemination and communication among visually impaired and other end users can open, empowering the design of research informed, just and beautiful cities.
