A hodgepodge of chairs dot the grass. They invite passersby to stop, relax, and socialize.
What's intriguing is the lack of arrangement. The chairs are not placed in proportional lines or clusters. They're arranged impromptu by whomever uses them. Every day their positioning is different and random.
Symmetry is important in art, design, and architecture. But too much proportionality stupefies me. Civilization is better off when symmetrical forms of architecture sometimes yield to nooks and crannies of irregularity.
