Amphitheater

 Rules:

  • Hold larger (sanctioned) events here

  • No lounging

  • Walk around not through 

  • “Forbidden”


Discussion:

    The rules for this place are made for shared human made space and I think that brings with it a different set of expectations. Built environments such as these have multiple uses at different times and events going on. During events this place brings people together in a large social setting because of that we believe the rules such as walk around if not staying. You always need to respect the human need for entertainment and to not interrupt that. Along with the respect of attendees we need to respect those performing. Depending which kind of performance is going on we need to stand to show we are paying attention and respect the performer. This can also hinder others' view of what is going on. During non-event times rules shift a little bit to a more calming area.

The rules created mainly ...
