Reassessing personal space in classroom.
Wiles reviews the personal space of various social areas in comparison with that of schools.
He determines that there is a relationship between the space allocated and the anticipated time of the event, with the exception of schools. In the design of places such as telephone booths, which is considered an event requiring very little time, very little space is provided. Homes for the elderly housed by the federal government require one hundred and eight square feet per person. Prisoners in jail cells have forty-eight square feet. Fall out shelters range from four to ten square feet.
