The impact of the epidemic that occurred in 2019 on the entire world, It affected all the basics of normal life, in order for a person to live a good life, it must consist of three things, Work, Live, Play, the epidemic destroyed these three things, it destroyed work because companies stumbled and they had to lay off About employment and many people lost their jobs, an impact on living due to a lack of security and the lack of products that help to live in many countries, and an impact on playing because of the quarantine that lasted for very long periods and the inability of people to go to open places or picnics.

But in anticipation of what is to come, we as architects have to take the necessary, which is to take epidemiology into account when designing anything, even if it is a small piece, we have to consider the basics of architectural design and the basics of furniture design in interior design and public places.

My idea of designing the bench was first to return to the previous and simple design, and then make the spacing between the chairs and some of them so that the distance is sufficient to implement the needs and at the same time is safe in terms of spacing, the last step is to make another activity inside the bench and this overlap was games for children and this helps On the safety factor between parents and children in public parks .

The last idea was to try to make a smart bench by adding some features to help it, and allow it to be used by many people, And the benefit would be great for it to be reused in other places. And this happened by adding bicycle parking's , Using touch screens , Using LED lights , put a place to drink water, and all this works by solar energy .
