Horizontal+circulation

= = == = = =The design of __horizontal circulation __frequently determines the basic shape and character of the entire structure. The first practical requirement of any circulation system is that it be adequate in size. The second requirement in circulation design is that of directness. A good circulation plan should work well in either direction. The third requirement in circulation design is that points of converging traffic must be expressed. The fourth requirement in circulation design is that changes in level must be clearly expressed.= =Circulations have an aesthetic value as well as a functional one. Circulation it is a necessary element in establishing relationship between the paths and the hole in the circulation parts itself and the general sense and form of the entire structure.= = = = = ==1.
