[Part E – Physical design and materials] Footway amenities 231 Additional information Department for Transport: Inclusive mobility – A guide to best practice on access to pedestrian and transport infrastructure, 2002 Greater London Authority: The GLA Group Responsible Procurement Policy, 2008 Benefits The ‘peel-up’ bench is an integral repeating element in High Line Park. These benches create a ‘family’ of design elements which are used not just for seating but as play elements and picnic areas. The family of benches acts as a unifying element that ties disparate spaces together and reflects the historic use of the High Line. Implementation A family of benches have been created through the use of a similar form and a consistent palette of materials, ie wood, stainless steel and natural stone. Applying in London Street furniture families should be used in London to enhance local character and to connect disparate spaces. The proposal for a family of benches should be reflective of the local character and identity. Images courtesy of Aleksandra Grabowska
