CIRCULATION Flashcards
This prolong the sequence of
the approach.
CIRCUITOUS
Entrances maintain the continuity of a wall’s surface.
FLUSH ENTRANCE
Enclosed or open on one or two sides, corridors, balconies must accomrnodjlte the movement of people as they promenade, pause, rest or take a view.
FORM OF CIRCULATION
SPACE
The edges, nodes and termination
of the path. Pass by axially,
terminate in a space, or pass
obliquely or along the edges.
PATH-SPACE RELATIONSHIP
Entrances also provide shelter
and receive a portion of exterior
space into the realm of the building or uses a portion of interior space.
RECESSED
ENTRANCE
Paths of movement are linear in nature. Pedestrians meeting each other should have wider volume of space, wheeled vehicles can have a tightly tailored path.
CONFIGURATION
OF THE PATH
Leads directly to the entrance.
FRONTAL
This enhances the perspective
OBLIQUE
This may vary in duration, from
a few paces through a compressed
space to a lengthy and
circuitous route.
THE BUILDING
APPROACH
Passing through an implied plane, or a change in level, working the passage from one place to another for visual and spatial continuity between two spaces.
THE BUILDING
ENTRANCE
Entrances announces their
functions to the approach and
provide shelter overhead.
