Описание: There's something simple, beautiful, and convivial about a bench. Convivial? I learned and thought about this word from reading Ivan Illich's book Tools for Conviviality. It was in the 1970s when I bought and read every Illich book as soon as it came out in paperback. But in the photo there was no one on this bench. How is it convivial? Not in the perhaps more austere sense Illich intended. But in the ordinary English usage of friendliness, good company, warmth, sociability, and gregariousness. § Curious? Then take a look at stuff online from The Bench Project of the Young Foundation. Blog on Weebly Lively interesting report which is also a photo-essay here. And Here on Twitter "The democratic value of benches" - also from the Young Foundation. § Links updated 13 October 2018.
