Abstract: The objective of the research in this work is to develop a socially responsible, modular public bench that embodies the concept of an innovative solution to the difficulties of park benches. This also includes the issues that surfaced during and after the COVID-19 epidemic, issues that highlight the significance of social interaction for humans, while adhering to ergonomic and ecological design principles. The bench will be composed of two major modular sections (branches) and five modular seats that will be fitted on the branches. These shapes will allow for the installation of a public bookshelf. The branches are planned as two monoliths, with a Voronoi diagram-shaped iron within. Consequently, the objective is to design a modular, versatile public seat that visually resembles Munika, a local endemic tree. The optimization procedure for obtaining the Voronoi diagram forms of the iron holder is accomplished in the "Rhinoceros" program, and we will attempt to automate it so that other designers may use it as a model and a solution to their difficulties. The final product will be an elegant, modular public bench that meets the human desire for social interaction and conversation while providing ergonomics, individuality, and a safe distance for other users. This design will emphasize "Munika" ideals, including the significance of mental health and peaceful cohabitation among humans, all other living species, and the environment that we all share.
