historicaltechnical
A semicircular recess or porch fitted with a bench or seats, found in ancient Greek and Roman buildings.
An exedra was a place to sit and talk, either a curved niche built into a wall or a roofed room or portico with a continuous bench along its inner side. Ancient gymnasiums, baths and public squares often had one, and scholars could meet and argue there. Gardens and parks still borrow the idea for a curved stone seat that holds a group of people. The word is Greek and means a seat set apart.
