Urban Bosky. This was a proposal
of a new form of public furniture for the streets of Dublin. A small urban forest, space on a crowded street,
a place to stop a moment and watch the world go by. But it gets pretty cold out and about Dublin so these poles, clad in copper, are also heated so as you can hold and hug them to gently warm yourself up as you are passing by.

The poles are clad in copper to allow them degrade gracefully the copper oxidising at the top and staying shiny wherever it is touched. A cluster of poles an urban forest, a new form
of public furniture.

Material/Dimensions: copper poles, reinforced concrete, heat exchange pump, heat coils / 100mm diameter, lengths ranging from 2 to 3 meters, an overall foot print ranging from 2 meters squared to as large as
is feasible.
