Circulation
and
pathways
Circulation in architecture is the space provided to the
people and vehicles.

Pathways is the path of how we the landscape.

1. Approach or the distant view.

Frontal approach is leading the way to the entrance.

Oblique approach changes the perspective of front of

the building and its form.

Spiral approach is changes into three dimensional form

of the building as we move around its perimeter.

Portals and gateway are orienting us to the path on the

entrance.

2. Entrance is the space of entering of where are you

going.
Flush entrance maintains the surface of the wall.

Projected entrance provides overhead shelter.

Recessed entrance provides shelter and receive a

portion of exterior building.

3. Configuration of path
 Linear path is a straight path.

Radial path has linear path extending at the center

point.

Spiral path is a single path that originates from a

central point then revolving it.

Grid path is consist of two sets of parallel paths that

intersects at each other.

Network path consist of paths that established points in

space.

Composite paths has centers of activity, entrances to

rooms and halls and places for vertical circulation.

4. Path-Space Relationship

Path by space – the integrity of each space has to be

remained.
Pass through spaces

The path may pass through space.

5. Terminate in a space –
The location of a space establishes the path.
Function
and form
 It is important to have a form and function in your
design. It is said that the form follows function - Frank Lloyd
Wright. Its means that the form of the building must start in
your design.

The form of this structure follows the proper design of a

school.

Organic architecture is the form of architecture that

requires natural environment.

Expressionism was designed to evoke inner feelings

and extreme emotions. They used distorted unusual forms
and incorporated innovative building techniques using
materials like brick, steel, and glass.
Programming
 Programming is the first one the architects made and
use before start the design of the building or houses.
Programming may happen for different purposes and may
impact the level of detail of investigation and deliverables.

The decision maker is the client/owner of the project

that allows the affected design. The clients involvement
results can be more efficient.

SIX STEPS PROCESS IN PROGRAMMING

1. Research the project type

This information can be obtained from literature on

the building type, analysis of plans of existing
projects, expert consultants familiar with the building
type, and/or cost estimating services.

2. Establish goals and objective

The programmer solicits and suggests broad goal

statements that will guide the remainder of the
programming process.

3. Gather relevant information

Based upon the goals, the categories of relevant

information can be determined and researched.
4. Identify strategies

Programmatic strategies suggest a way to

accomplish the goals given what one now knows
about the opportunities and constraints.

5. Determine quantitative requirements

One must reconcile the available budget with the

amount of improvements desired within the project
time frame.
