This document discusses various aspects of circulation and movement through spaces in architecture. It covers approaches to buildings from a distance, types of entrances, configurations of interior spaces, relationships between paths and spaces, and different forms for circulation spaces like corridors, halls, galleries and stairways. Key points include different types of approaches like frontal, oblique and spiral; entrance styles like flush, projected and recessed; common space configurations like linear, radial and grid; and how circulation spaces can be closed, open on one side or both sides. Stairways are also examined in terms of their forms and how they provide vertical movement between levels.

- 3. Approach- The Distant ViewFirst phase of Circulation system, during which we are prepared to see, Experience & use the spaces within.
- 4. Make your path more legible in visual ways.
- 5. May vary in duration- compressed space to lengthy & circuitous routes.
- 6. Nature of approach contrasts in its termination to an interior.
- 7. Portals & Gateways - Orient us to path & welcomes EntryTypes of Approach3. SpiralCurved path
- 8. Entrance may or may not be visible until the point of arrival.
- 9. Emphasizes the 3D form as the bldg is approached.2. ObliquePath re-directed 1 or more times.
- 10. Approached at an extreme angle.

- 23. Configuration of space- Sequence of spaces1. LinearStraight path, primary organizing element. Curvilinear or segmented, have branches or form a loop. 2. RadialLinear path extending from or terminating at a central common point. 3. Spiral Single, continuous path originates from a central point, revolves around it & becomes increasingly distant from it.4. Grid2 sets of parallel paths that intersect at regular intervals & create square or rectangular fields.5. NetworkPaths that connect established paths.6. CompositeBuilding employs combination of all the above.1.Linear Path

- 29. Path space relationships, Edges, Nodes & Termination of path1. Pass by Spaces:Integrity of each space maintained.
- 30. Configuration of path is flexible.
- 31. Mediating spaces used to link path with spaces.2. Pass Through Spaces:May pass through Axially, Obliquely or along its edge.
- 32. Cutting through the space creates patterns of rest & movement within it.3. Terminate in a Space:Location of the space establishes the path.
- 33. Used for functionally or symbolically important spaces.1. Pass by Spaces:

- 36. Form of circulation Space- Corridors, Halls, Galleries, Stairways & rooms.Form of circulation space varies according to:Its boundaries.
- 37. Its form relates to the form of the spaces it links.
- 38. Its qualities of scale, proportion, light & view are articulated.
- 39. Entrances open into it
- 40. It handles changes in level with stairs & ramps.Spaces of movement- occupies a significant amount of volume of a building.Form & scale of circulation space should accommodate movement of people as they promenade, pause, rest, or take in a view along a path.
- 41. Various types:1. Closed:Public galleria or private corridor that relates to the spaces it links through entrances in wall plane. 2. Open on one Side:Balcony or gallery provides visual & spatial continuity with the spaces it links.3. Open on both Sides:Colonnaded passageways becomes a physical extension of the space it passes through.Width & Height should be proportionate- shows the difference in public promenade, private hall & service corridor
- 42. Narrow spaces can be enlarged by merging with spaces it passes through.
- 43. In large space, path can be random. They can be determined by activities & arrangements of furnishings within the space.Closed on both sides
- 44. Closed on both sides
- 45. Closed on both sides
- 46. Closed on both sidesOpen on one side
- 47. Open on both sides

- 49. StairwaysProvide vertical movement b/w levels of building or outdoor space.Means of vertical transport.Traversing up-privacy, aloofness or detachmentGoing down-secure, protected or stable ground.Landings-Rest, change in direction, access & outlook form stairway.Pitch & location of landings determine movement of the user.
