Description

Street furniture has become an integral part of our urban landscape, shaping the way we interact with cities. From benches to bollards, streetlights to signs, these everyday objects have a profound impact on our surroundings.

This book explores the cultural significance of street furniture through the lens of photography, examining how they have evolved over time in response to changing technologies, surveillance culture and shifting tastes. Edwin Heathcote, architecture and design critic, uses history, personal reflection and photographic evidence to shed light on the role of these urban artefacts in contemporary cities.

Through a nuanced analysis of street furniture as reflected in photography and contemporary culture, this book reveals the ways in which our surroundings can exert an increasing impact on our daily lives. A thought-provoking exploration of the elements that shape our urban experience.
