Bryant ❤ My oasis in my heart
2000 chairs' victory|||This story is very interesting. Bryant Park is located in Manhattan, New York, near the New York Public Library. It is connected to the bustling streets and commercial areas of Times Square to the north and is a small "oasis" in the high-rise city center. Bryant Park.
Interestingly, there were tall hedges and fences here before, which gradually became a paradise for crime and drug users in the 1970s. In 1979, the government hired William H. Whyte, the most influential commentator on urban, human, and open space, to change this situation. Whyte came up with a bold idea to design an empty square and put 2,000 chairs on it, which was immediately opposed by the government, who believed that all the chairs might be taken away on the first day.
The initial idea was put on hold for more than a decade until the new manager, Mansell, realized it in the early 1990s. It's amazing that not a single chair was lost. Through these chairs, Bryant Park was revitalized and became an important space for various artistic activities and street performances.
This design demonstrates the power of trust, and from another perspective, it also shows that design doesn't necessarily have to be a complex and expensive thing, but can also be a kind gesture.

When I came to Bryant Park in autumn, I found a new seasonal Winter Village. In fact, it is a lot of small shops that can shop. There are many kinds of shops, which are very easy to visit. The skating rink has also been built. If you rent skates, you can enter the rink. The whole park gives a very pleasant feeling. New York natives love coming here. It's hard to imagine such a leisurely Park surrounded by tall buildings. If you have enough time, you can also go to the New York Public Library next to you. The reading room is very beautiful.
