Seating: A Seat Every Fifty Meters

Seating arrangement for a pedestrian street. Seating is distributed along the street at intervals no more than fifty meters, ensuring that people with less stamina can rest at any time; there is more than one type of seating—long benches with backrests and armrests for the elderly, backless low stools that can be sat on from both sides, and ledges leaning against planters. Their positions are chosen: most are backed against buildings or trees rather than isolated in the middle of the thoroughfare, and there is something to look at in front—street activities, shop windows, or a tree. Space is left nearby for wheelchairs and strollers. People of different ages are using them in the image. Avoid: seating intervals being too large, using only a single type of seating, isolating seating in the middle of the thoroughfare, seating facing away from street activities.

一條徒步街道的座椅配置。座椅沿街分佈的間距不超過五十公尺,確保體力較差的人隨時可以休息;形式不只一種——有帶靠背與扶手的長凳供年長者使用、有無靠背的矮凳可以從兩側坐、有靠著花台的坐檻。它們的位置經過選擇:大多背靠著建築或樹木而不是孤立在通行帶中央,前方有可看的東西——街道的活動、櫥窗或一株樹。旁邊留有輪椅與嬰兒車的停放空間。畫面中有不同年齡的人正在使用。避免:讓座椅的間距過大、只使用單一形式的座椅、把座椅孤立放在通行帶中央、讓座椅背對街道的活動。
