The lecture discusses:

Circulation /Movement through space:

Circulation Elements:1. Approach

2. Entrance

3. Configuration of the path

4. Path space relationship

5. Form of the circulation space


3/39

The path of movement can be conceived as:-

The perceptual that links the spaces of a building, or,

Any series of interior or spaces together.

Since: we move in TIME

through SEQUENCE

Of SPACE


4/39

1. Approach: the distant view

2. Entrance: from outside to inside

3. Configuration of the path: thesequence of space.

4. Path space relationship :edge,nodes, termination of the path.

5. Form of the circulation space:corridors, halls, galleries,stairways, rooms.


5/39

a. Frontal: Leads directly to the entrance along a straight, axial path.

The visual goal terminates the approach clear or it may

be the entire front faade or an elaborated entrance with

the plane.

b. Oblique: Enhance the effect of perspective on front faade & form

of a building.

Redicted one or more times to delay & prolong the

sequence of the approach.

If the building is approached at extreme angle ,its

entrance can project beyond its faade to be more clearly

visible

c. spiral: prolongs the sequence of theapproach

emphasizes the 3D form.

Might be viewed intermittently during the approach to

clarify its position.

May be hidden until the point arrival.

Frontal Approach


7/39


8/39

The act of entering:passage through an implied plane

established by tow pillars or

overhead beam.

Change in level.

** The entrance into the space is best

signified by establishing areal or

implied plane perpendicular to the

path of the approach.


9/39

Entrance Categories:

Flush Entrance

A projected Entrance

A recessed Entrance


10/39

1. Centered with the frontalplane .

2. Placed off center .

The notion of an entrance can bevisually reinforced by :-

1. Making the opening lower, winder, ornarrower than anticipated,

2. Deep or circuitous.

3. Articulating the opening withornamentation or decorativeembellishment.

1. Linear :-Organizing element for a series of

space.It can be curvelinear or segmented ,intersect other paths have pranches or forma loop.

2. Radial:-Linear paths extending from atcentral or common point .

3. Spiral : Single , conscious path originatesfrom a central point revolved it .

4. Grid :Consist of two sets of parallel pathsinterested at regular intervals & createsquare or rectangular fields of space .

5. Composite: A combination of thepreceding patterns.

Scaleform length place center of

activity ( NODES). Entrances to rooms & halls _ vertical

elements.

Networks, Nodes and Foci

Different paths will have different functional purposes;

direct access,

others for slower meandering exploration

Networks:

Junction are important

Stopping, Meeting And Waiting

Locations.

Path network designs also respond to

and integrate with foci (which are

often located at nodes).

1. Pass by spaces

2. Pass by spaces

3. Terminate in a space:


21/39

Form of the circulation space varies according

to:

1. Its boundaries defined.

2. The form of spaces it links

3. Qualities of scale, proportion, light ,view which are

articulated.

4. It handles changes in level with stairs & ramps.


22/39

1. Enclosed:link betweenentrance and spaces.

2. Open on one side:creates visual & spatial

continuity.

3. Open on both sides:creates physical extension.
