Circulation_types


 * Types of Circulation that will take place inside and outside the building. **

At the time of making a building the architect must take into account the way of movement that he wants in the building, as this will determine the way that people traveling on it, as this will indicate the way in which people approach the building.

Based on the video (that you can watch on the link) one can identify and explain the different types of circulation that will take place in the interior of the building as well as in its surroundings.

The first thing that is important to take into account are the two arrows pointing at the main entrance and exit of the building. A wide plaza in front of the building and a vast lobby are two spaces thought for central circulation, and as a connection between the inner spaces of the building and the street.

The connection to the street is important not only for pedestrians but also for the vehicles, as to be in the business district of Paris, must include a space for vehicles not to block traffic.

To enter the building, each person will take a different path, either using the escalator, elevator, or continue to the last runners in the same plant also can enter the building exterior stairways through. These are the different types of movement in the building.

Also is important to note that the circulation depends of the function of space and the needs of people who use it. For example, is different from the movement required in a train station in an office building. The width of the hallways and the location of escalators are completely different in each case.
