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

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

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

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

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

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 SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

FIND WHICH ENTRANCES ? PROJECTED RECESSED FLUSH SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Wake up SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

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 SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

FIND CONFIGURATION OF PATH? SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

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

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

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 SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

CIRCULATION ELEMENT – FORM OF THE CIRCULATION SPACE SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

CIRCULATION ELEMENT – STAIRWAYS Provide for our vertical movement between the levels of a building STRAIGHT RUN STAIR L-SHAPED STAIR SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

CIRCULATION ELEMENT – STAIRWAYS U-SHAPED STAIR CIRCULAR STAIR SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

CIRCULATION ELEMENT – STAIRWAYS DOUBLE HELIX STAIR SPIRAL STAIR SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

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 Verandah SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

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

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

ANTHROPOMETRICS SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

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

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

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

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 SNSCE UNIT I - ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
