The "Stoop Bench" designed by Josh Owen is a portable stoop that encourages people to gather and socialize. An architectural staple for over a thousand years, Josh rethinks the function of the stoop to create almost a park bench thats more natural and "home-like." Josh plans to distribute them throughout the city of Philadelphia to create social "perches" for people to meet. I think this is one of the smartest yet simplest ideas to come through design in a long time.
