Summaries of content, keywords and links generated by algorithms. Thank you smmry.com:

Summary 1: Certain columns, especially those which are free standing, play an important social role, beyond their structural role as COLUMNS AT THE CORNERS.

Summary 2: Thin columns, spindly columns, columns which take their shape from structural arguments alone, will never make a comfortable environment.

Summary 3: When a column is free standing, make it as thick as a man - at least 12 inches, preferably 16 inches: and form places around it where people can sit and lean comfortably: a step, a small seat built up against the column, or a space formed by a pair of columns.

Summary 4: Four inch steel pipes or 6 inch reinforced concrete columns break up space, but they destroy it as a place for human action, because they do not create "Spots" where people can be comfortable.

Summary 5: In short, if the column has to be there, it will destroy a considerable area unless it is made to be a place where people feel comfortable to stay, a natural focus, a place to sit down, a place to lean.

Summary 6: You can get the extra thickness quite cheaply if you build the column as a BOX COLUMN; complete the "Place" the column forms, by giving it a "Roof" in the form of a column capital, or vault which springs from the column, or by bracing the column against the beams - COLUMN CONNECTION..
