【威廉懷特小教室】之九-2，討論座位的高度與深度
許多建築師在設計階段，並未仔細考慮公共空間中關於「坐」位的空間細節，如坐緣的適當深度與高度。一般來說，適當的高度範圍應在30-90公分間；而讓人坐下來最自在的深度，大約是面寬76.2-91.4公分的平面—是平面兩側都可以讓人坐下來的寬度。太窄的平面，兩個人坐下來的身體距離會顯得尷尬不自在。無法放鬆坐下來情況下，為了不要碰到另一邊的人，身體會有點緊張的往前靠。很可惜，這樣的空間我們很少在公共空間見到。
這樣的理想寬度並不是說，兩倍的寬度一定得容納兩倍的人數，而是空間寬敞、舒服了，人們會有比較高的意願選擇在公共空間坐下來。
Sitting Depth and Height
Many architect do not think of the depth of the banks. Rarely you will find a bench where you can sit to two sides. 30 to 36 inches (1 inch = 2.54 cm) is the best depth for people to sit comfortably. When it’s smaller, it becomes awkward and uncomfortable and you will see the people lean forward.
With a few additional inches of depth builders can double the amount of sitting space. This means not that it will double the amount of people. The advantage of extra space is the social comfort. People get more choices to sit.
The best sitting height for a bench varies between 1 and 3 foot (1 foot = 30.48 cm).
