The London Festival of Architecture (LFA) and the Royal Docks Team (RDT) have launched the third edition of the Pews and Perches design competition, which will see a series of bespoke public benches delivered throughout the Royal Docks this year.
Following the success of the previous years, the competition is open to architecture and design students, recent graduates and emerging practitioners, inviting them to deliver playful and creative bench proposals that celebrate and transform the Royal Docks as a place to sit, rest and play. Now in its third year, Pews and Perches competition highlights the transformative impact of small-scale interventions in the public realm and offers visitors and residents alike unique spaces to sit and make the most of their surrounding public space.
