3. CIRCULATION The way to enter, go through and go around a building
Movement through spaces
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

4. CIRCULATION ELEMENTS APPROACH – DISTANT VIEW
ENTRANCES – FROM OUTSIDE TO INSIDE
CONFIGURATION OF PATH – THE SEQUENCE OF SPACES
PATH – SPACE RELATIONSHIP – EDGES, NODES & TERMINATION OF PATH
FORM OF THE CIRCULATION SPACE – CORRIDORS, RAMPS, STAIRS, BALCONIES
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

5. CIRCULATION ELEMENT - APPROACH
FRONTAL – Entrance along a straight axial path
SPIRAL – Entrance may or may not be visible until the point of arrival
OBLIQUE – Approach at an extreme angle
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

6. FIND WHICH APPROACHES ? FRONTAL SPIRAL OBLIQUE
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

7. CIRCULATION ELEMENT - ENTRANCES
Entering into a defined field of exterior space
RECESSED – provide shelter but uses a portion of interior space
FLUSH – Maintain continuity with wall
PROJECTED – Transitional space
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

8. THE IDEA OF AN ENTRANCE MAY BE VISUALLY REINFORCED BY
Making the opening lower, wider, or narrower than anticipated
Making the entrance deep or circuitous
Articulating the opening with ornamentation or decorative embellishment

11. CIRCULATION ELEMENT – CONFIGURATION OF PATH
The nature of the configuration of a path influences and is influenced by the organizational pattern of the spaces it links
Linear – Straight path. Primary organising element
Radial – Extending from or terminating at central or common point
Spiral - originates from a central point, revolves around it and becomes increasingly distant from it
Grid - A Grid configuration consists of two sets of parallel paths that intersect at regular intervals
Network - paths that connect established points in space

12. FIND CONFIGURATION OF PATH?
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

13. CIRCULATION ELEMENT – PATH - SPACE RELATIONSHIP
Paths may be related to the spaces they link in a number of ways
Pass by Spaces
The integrity of each space is maintained
The configuration of the path is flexible
Mediating spaces can be used to link the path with the spaces
Pass through spaces
The path may pass through a space axially, obliquely or along its edge
In cutting through a space, the path creates pattern of rest and movement within it
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

14. CIRCULATION ELEMENT – PATH - SPACE RELATIONSHIP
Terminate in a space
The location of the space establishes the path
This path-space relationship is used to approach and enter, functionally or symbolically important spaces
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

15. CIRCULATION ELEMENT – FORM OF THE CIRCULATION SPACE
Spaces for movement form an integral part of any building organization and occupy a significant amount of the volume of a building
A circulation space may be:
Enclosed - Private corridor that relates to the spaces it links
Open on One Side - Balcony or gallery provides visual & spatial continuity
Open on both side - Colonnaded passageway that becomes a physical extension of the space it passes through

22. Sitting/Entertaining
REQUIREMENTS
Example Design of Residential Building
Kinds of spaces to be designed are decided based on the kinds of activities to be performed in the building
Activities
Space Required
Sitting/Entertaining
Living Space
Eating
Dining Space
Cooking
Kitchen Space
Sleeping
Bedroom Space
Reading/Learning
Study Space
Family get together
Family Space
Bathing
Bath space
Sitting Outside

SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

23. SPACE STANDARDS
Every space accommodates an activity or a function which decides the area and volume required
The activities determine the furniture space.
The furniture requires provision of clearance paths
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

24. ANTHROPOMETRICS
Dimensions and Proportion of Human Body which is decided by the dimensions of objects and spaces within and around them
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

25. ANTHROPOMETRICS
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

26. SELECTION OF SITES
Site should be selected which should not disturb the unique nature of sites.
The purpose of the site should be clearly understood
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

27. CLIMATE
Aspects of the climate which affect human comfort and the use of buildings.
Includes
- Changes in temperature
- Humidity
- Sky conditions
- Incoming and outgoing radiation
- Rainfall
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

28. LANDSCAPE DESIGN It enhances the aesthetic appeal of a building
It entails planning the space outside or surrounding a construction or building
SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

29. INTEGRATION OF BASIC BUILDING SERVICES
The services which are considered to make the building design complete are
- Water Supply
- Drainage
- Electricity
- Air conditioning
- Lighting
- Fire safety
