Good design is not always easy to find in public space. This bench looks good and fits in well the park's needs (skate park on the other side).

It is nice and well decorated, but is it comfortable? It doesn't seem so 🙄
If i should do a trade off, i prefer comfortability

i agree, it's not the most comfy. But in a public space you won't find leather etc. Public space has it's own specific demands. What i mean is that public space is mostly about usability and design that fuse with the surroundings.

That's a great idea. I see so many creative uses for rocks, but unfortunately my landscape has none.

Who would have thought that a couple of stones stacked in such manner would put forth grace. It’s appealing to the eye. Artistic and I like😍

That is a bench? Do not think it is great to sit atm Looks more like the walls I see everywhere in Europe nowadays. Also filled with green glass stones etc. I like them.

as the photo is very close .. the bank looks like a stone wall well accommodated with a wire mesh .. the bottom of the photo if it looks nice because of the green of the grass and the building in the background.

This is a stepped retaining wall :) It's a technique used to hold slopes and hills from falling over. It would make a pretty uncomfortable bench but you are right in you thinking. It could be tailored to become one in the future.

Allow me to explain :)
A skate park needs to be excavated so it is concave - like a hollow bowl so that the skaters can go up and down. The sides of this excavation need to be retained so that land doesn't fall inside the bowl. A quick and cost effective way of retaining is by building a gabion wall.
A gabion wall usually consists of stacked stones in a wired mesh and is easy to install so I imagine that's what's happening in your image to hold the sides of the skate park. It's a pretty common technique in landscaping.
Of course, a lot of gabion walls are adapted as benches but then they usually require a wooden/stone/brick panel on top to allow for people to sit on them. Which is what I meant by you were right in your thinking that it could be tailored to become a bench in the future.
Hope this clarifies my comment :)

Thank you for your explanations :) What i meant was that it is used as a bench by people who are at the park and, on the other hand, i never saw it being used by skaters. ;) cheers!:)
