Seating Arrangement

On our day to day life, we come across different types of surroundings and environments, whether it is at the doctor’s, business office, cinema etc., the space is usually designed in a way to fit and go together with it’s purpose. There are different types of design patterns that we see everywhere that are known to be in a specific way because they are more effective likewise. We’ve studied this occurrence previously when we got to learn about Archetypes, and how there are some rules that are always the same in every building. Every parliament, every university class and so on have a different seating arrangement according to the tradition that is thought to be more effective. For example in our studio every one of us have our own desks, we are in groups of four and we are free to discuss with each other, on the other hand, on our Math class we share a desk with a friend and we can’t talk during the lecture. In some meeting rooms all the participants sit around a circle table and everyone is equal and has the same importance as everyone else, contrariwise there are meeting rooms where all the chairs are turned to on main chair who is usually the leader of the meeting and who has a more important role. Little details like the way we sit and interact might go across our minds but they indirectly affect us every day, so we have to put more thought on the way we design the seating areas of a room/building.ery day, so we have to put more thought on the way we design the seating areas of a room/building.
