Horizontal+circulation


 * What does the design of horizontal circulation determine? **

The design of a horizontal circulation determine the basic shape and character of the entire structure


 * What are the four practical requirements of any horizontal circulation system mentioned in the lecture? **

First practical requirements is that have be adequate in size

Second practical requiremen is that should work well in either direction

Third requirement is that points of converging traffic must be expressed

Fourth requirement is that changing levels must be clearly expressed


 * What are the three examples (names of buildings) mentioned by Prof. Watanabe to illustrate different horizontal circulation patterns? **

Pennsylvania Station (New York)


 * Palais de Justice (Paris) **


 * The Tsentrosoyuz building ( **Moscow)

**Why is the concept of Horizontal Circulation important in any urban plan or architectural design? **

 In a urban plan **, **  the first step in the design process becomes when distributing in plant the uses by sectors, and to develop the project on the basis of dynamics that it will exist between these zones. **. **The horizontal circulation is the most important thing in the plan, is this one how defin **e ** <span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">the flow that was developed between the sectors, and it orders the structure of the components of the design. To solve the connections between the different components from an urban system by means of <span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">systems of plublic spaces or private spaces; r systems of pedestrian flow or vehicular flow; <span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">is a process that is assembled from a horizontal perspective, including sinuous topography. <span style="color: #888888; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">
