The Camden bench is a type of concrete street furniture commissioned by the Camden London Borough Council and installed in Camden, London in 2012. It is designed specifically to influence the behaviour of the public by restricting undesirable behaviour, a principle known as "hostile architecture", and instead be usable ''only'' as a bench. Because the design is "defined far more by what it is not than what it is" the bench has been called the "perfect anti-object" and a "masterpiece of unpleasant design". "Feature sites" for introduction of the bench were on Great Queen Street and High Holborn.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.factoryfurniture.co.uk/products-camden-bench.php )〕〔Google street view images of the bench installation "feature sites" on (Great Queen Street ) and (High Holborn ), June 2012.〕 Produced by UK company Factory Furniture, the bench is designed to deter rough sleeping, littering, skateboarding, drug dealing, graffiti and theft.〔 It attempts to achieve this primarily through angular surfaces, an absence of crevices or hiding places, and non-permeable materials. It is not secured to the ground and can be moved by a crane attaching to built-in anchor points but due to its weight it is also designed to function as a roadblock. A Camden bench has been used as part of an installation artwork by Roger Hiorns.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://unpleasant.pravi.me/interview-with-factory-furniture-design-team/ )〕 ==Awards== The design has achieved several awards, and has been recognised or certificated a number of times. These accreditations include: * Keep Britain Tidy "Best practice street cleansing" (2010) * Design Council "Best practice for reducing crime" (2011) * Centre for Accessible Environments "Best European practice for inclusive design" (2012) * Home Office "PAS68 approved" (classification for vehicle security barriers ) for counter-terrorism use. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camden bench」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
