How we do it? : First prospectus of the LSE (1895)

“Training in methods of scientific investigation”. “Scientific method to be cultivated, and not left to take care of itself.” “The special aim of the School will be, from the first, the study and investigation

• f the concrete facts of industrial life and

the actual working of economic and political relations as they exist or have existed, in the United Kingdom and in foreign countries.”

Their design borrows the basic form of ubiquitous park or garden benches, but is altered to various degrees to make the act of sitting a conscious physical process. The benches question the spatial separations in social situations and challenge the amount of space that people feel necessary to set between themselves and others. The Modified Social Benches NY are intended to break with those behavioural patterns in public space. With its modifications, the benches transform its surroundings into places of social activity and foster dialogue between users and passers-by. Source: www.southbanklondon.com

Why we do it?

Beatrice Webb’s diary (1892-1905): ‘One evening we sat by the fire and jotted down a list of subjects which want elucidating – issues of facts which need clearing up. Above all, we want the ordinary citizen to feel that reforming society is no light matter, and must be undertaken by experts specially trained for the purpose’.

Sidney and Beatrice Web by William Nicholson
