RE: both

I like this contradiction to the conventional public space of seperation rather than congregation.
100 seats in a 10000sqft square or 1000 seats in 1000000cuft of a lattice. each seat has a transparent domelike voice harvester / emitter device at the top. so there is a forced 10' physical divide between each occupant. the seat is meant to rest but you can speak to the closest eight occupants surrounding; noting that each dome can emit eight voices. in case of connecting interests the occupants get out of the chatter dome into the division space to meet. if the occupant is not a social person and just needs to rest he can stop communicating or just shout "quiet". no one will know where it came from.
so the seperation does bring people closer.
