It might be worth looking at the architect Will Alsop's work in Peckham
and an installation that functions as a giant barometer and seating and
covered area in Peckham also near Will's Library building.

I am a finalist student of Industrial Design at Loughborough
University, and
I'm looking at designing a heated public seating installation for my
final
major project.
One of the main issues with this is the potential use of the seat by
the
homeless, and the subsequent disapproval that this may cause when in
general
use.
Does anyone know any good strategies for "discouraging" this kind of
use
(other than material choice and shape), or any information on how this
issue
is perceived?
Also I need to plan the energy usage of the installation, does anyone
know
any good sources of statistical information on public space usage (eg,
bus
stations, city centres) over 24 hour periods? I'm looking for at least
one
example to base my calculations on.
King regards,
Eleanor Hyde
