Building Approach-
There are different types of approaches to a building. An oblique approach is not a direct one, but very effective. In this approach, only a part or parts of the building can be seen until the arrival point.
Building Entrance-The entrance into this space is identified by an implied plane which is perpendicular to the floor plane or approach plane. This example is not only partially projected, but has a transitional space within, before passing through to the destination space. This opening is highly adorned within the frontal plane of the building and sort of shouts..."ta-dah!"
Configuration of the Path -
This interesting spiral path actually has two centers. One spiral path reinforces the other as a pedestrian meanders through from one space to the other. This spiral space must have an exit/entrance somewhere leading to the larger surrounding space thus, making this spiral twin a space within a space.
Path-Space Relationships: This photograph is of a pass through space. This path passes through these spaces axially. There are repetitions of rest and movement within this path. At any intersection the pedestrian can turn into another adjoining space.
Form of the Circulation Space: This indoor circulation space is open on both sides making a passageway that is an extension of the spaces it connects. There are many rooms and event spaces that spill out into this circulation space as it changes in level with stairs and ramps.
