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.

1. Handled by - g.yogapriya Theory of Architecture

2. UNIT-3_CIRCULATION-PART-1 Circulation- Movement through Space. Approach- The Distant View Entrance- From Outside to Inside Configuration of Space- The Sequences of Space Path-Space Relationships- Edges, Nodes, &Terminations of the path Form of the Circulation Space- Corridors, Halls, Galleries, Stairways & Rooms.

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.

8. Entrance may or may not be visible until the point of arrival.

10. Approached at an extreme angle.

12. Approach is clear.

24. 2. Radial path-Chickamauga Dam Southern U.S.

25. 3. Spiral path - Great Salt Lake.

26. 4.Grid Path: City of Chandigarh

27. 5.Network : Paris

28. 6. Composite path- Erbila

30. Configuration of path is flexible.

34. 2. Pass Through Spaces:

35. 3. Terminate in a Space:

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.

42. Narrow spaces can be enlarged by merging with spaces it passes through.

44. Closed on both sides

45. Closed on both sides

46. Closed on both sides Open on one side

47. Open on both sides

48. Grand Staircase, Paris opera house

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