I'd hazard a guess that the average male commuter is not too much under 200 pounds.I think you're being conservative there. Le Corbusier revised the height of the standard man behind the Modulor from 1.75m to 1.83m so that the Modulor system worked for human-scale architectural proportions. So let's take that standard 1.83m man and make him a commuter - he obviously doesn't exercise enough (he spends too much time on trains) and likes a drink in the evening (he spends too much time on M7s), so he'll probably be on the borderline of what the quacks call overweight and obese - in arbitrary figures, let's give him a BMI of 30.0. If I can do the math right (big if), that works out at 220lbs. So designing around a 220lb man seems really to be utterly reasonable. |
