==== Master Seat Geometry Explained====

Occupancy Level---> Overall Length of bench.  For each additional person, bench got 18inch longer to accommodate the new person.

Temperature---> The six slits in the back rest of chair fluctuated in width depending on the temperature

Person Height---> Person height dealt with the dimensions of parts A,B,G,H,E in drawing above.

Person Weight---> Person weight dealt with thickness of parts I,D,C,F as well as the thickness of the seat post which is unlabeled.

Person age---> Person age changed the slope of G measured by theta theta3 with respect to the vertical axis.

Waiting time---> To make the chair more comfy, theta1, theta2, and the length of A all morph depending on waiting time.  Also, the angle between G the seating surface and the seat back also changes.

==== Design "Challenges" and What We Learned====
== === Slope is an Issue === ==
Because the slope can be sloped, people might slide down the bench into one and other.  A possible solution would be to have the design step down with flat section to account for the slope, or the addition of individual armrests to keep people in place.

== === Hard to Sit Down === ==
As wait time increases the foot rest part extends and and the angle becomes greater making it more like a recliner.  This makes it very hard to actually sit down on the seat unless you are approaching from the very edge of the seat.  

== === Designed for profile === ==
Our initial geometry was designed as a profile and when extended into a massive bench looses much of its aesthetic appeal.  One thing that would help somewhat, would be to get rid of the continuous seat post, and instead have a post that instantiates itself every couple feel.  This would help the bench feel lighter and less bulky.

== ===Site Problems === ==
Due to the way the site file was created, we had trouble getting our bench positioned on the site itself and while it will still adjust for a change in curvature or slope, it has no relationship to the curb or the site width.  In a future model we would like to resolve these problems.







==== Why Chose Our Design? ====
  * Fulfills all design goals and requirements
  * The chair's sleek design and back and footrests, especially, make the chair inviting and a comfortable place to rest
  * The chair’s back not only provide support and recline, but contains “vents” for maximum thermal comfort
  * The design is simple, so would be compatible with most, if not all, enclosures
  * It's the best!
