ABSTRACT

The current scenario has wide opportunities for design projects and its successful execution. In a
building, designing and planning leans towards the functionality and performance to claim itself to be a
successful building. Circulation is one of the important key to achieve it. As we need barrier free
environment with ease of movement, visual balance and safety, a proper circulation planning will help
in achieving it. This is applicable to any built environment.

Moreover, a public building has an increased number of users, who can be repeated as new users after
that place. The need for a proper and legible circulation in such building is a challenge to an architect.
The importance of circulation in such buildings is gradually diminishing. This study supports to
emphasis the significant role of circulation planning in campus design.

Taking case examples of campus designs in the process of critical analysis will be the initiative to
interpret the various issues and demands that influences the circulation and movement in building. The
interpreted data helps in producing the issues and needs, under one roof for multiple factors. The main
factors of study will be the standards, accessibility and lighting. Campus buildings for case study,
circulation of which is critically analyzed in order to achieve a good learning experience, satisfy
emergency conditions approach to required domain in the respective buildings.

Apart from this, a post occupancy research is also made for live case examples with same factors of
study. User opinion is taken and combined to the analysis to arrive at conclusion. Both the buildings
has a more number of fresh users which is an important design consideration.

Concluding the major design considerations and framing the design guidelines for an efficient
circulation planning in a campus will be the major output of this study.

1. TOPIC

1.1.INTRODUCTION

Circulation refers to the way people move through and interact with a building.

Its a perceptional thread that links any space of a building.

In Campus, the circulation network is also a key driver of Spatial Organization.

Figure - 1

1.2NEED FOR THE STUDY

In order to acquire a legible and functionally efficient planning, designing of circulation space is an
important factor to be considered.

In current scenario, there have been many compromises in proper/efficient planning of circulation
spaces.

Figure - 2

11
This study supports to emphasis the significant role of circulation space in buildings and elevate its
importance.

1.3.WHY CAMPUS??

One could say that the word uni-versity means One including all, a single, unified community of
individuals of different experience living, cooking and studying together to assimilate knowledge,
improve skills and develop character.

Figure - 3

1.4.METHODOLOGY

1.4.1 STAGE 1:

What are circulation spaces?

What is the importance of its planning in a building?

What are the various pedestrian circulation elements, for horizontal and vertical circulation?

What are the various parts of the building that is included under circulation ?

spaces.

What are the spatial standards and dimension standards for circulation paths and spaces?

12
1.4.2 STAGE 2:

Data collection with respect to circulation in campus designing.

Literature study of international case examples of campus designs.

1.4.3 STAGE 3:

Framing questionnaire for occupancy research and analysis, for campus.

Live case studies on campus designs, solve questionnaires.

Analysis of the issues and potentials of the circulation spaces in the case study.

Comparison of International case example to live case example in India.

1.4.4 STAGE 4:

Summarize the inferences from the analysis made in both the case study and literature study.

Conclusion on the importance and probable effects of circulation planning in buildings.

Figure - 4

1.5.SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

The main scope would be framing design principles for designing flexible circulation to provided a
feasible design principles.

The study is mainly based on connections between the different parts of campus and to establish the
continuous fabric to avoid disturbance of pedestrians and vehicles.

INTRODUCTION : Since we move in Time ,Through a Sequence Of Spaces.

2.1 APPROACH
The Distant View

2.2 ENTRANCE
From Outside to inside

2.3 CONFIGURATION OF THE PATH

The Sequences of Spaces

2.4 PATH-SPACE RELATIONSHIPS

Edges, Nodes, and Terminations of the Path

2.5 FORM OF THE CIRCULATION SPACE

Corridors, Halls, Galleries, Stairways and Rooms

APPROACH
2.1.1. FRONTAL (approach is clear)

A Frontal approach leads directly to the entrance of a building along a straight, axial path.

Figure - 7

2.1.2. OBLIQUE (prolong the sequence of the approach)

An oblique approach enhances the effect of perspective on the front facade and form
of a building

15
 Figure - 8.

2.1.3. SPIRAL
A spiral path prolongs the sequence of the approach and emphasizes the three-
dimensional form of a building as we move around its perimeter.

2.2. ENTRANCE

Entrance is a place of entering like a gate or door, one space from another and
separates, where you are, from where you are going.

Figure - 9

Figure - 10

16
2.3 CONFIGURATION OF PATH

2.3.1. RADIAL

A Radial configuration has linear paths extending from or terminating at a central,

common point

2.3.2. SPIRAL

A Spiral configuration is a single, continuous path that originates from a central

point, revolves around it and becomes increasingly distant from it.

2.3.3. GRID

A Grid configuration consists of two sets of parallel paths that intersect at regular
intervals and create square or rectangular fields of space.

Figure - 11

2.3.4. NETWORK

A Network configuration consists of paths that connect established points in

space.

2.3.5. COMPOSITE
In reality, a building usually employs a combination of the different paths.

Figure - 12

2.4. PATH -SPACE RELATIONSHIPS

Paths may be related to the spaces they link in a number of ways Pass by Spaces.

2.4.1 PASS THROUGH SPACES

2.4.2 TERMINATE IN A SPACE

17
2.5. FORM OF CIRCULATION SPACES

A circulation space may be:

2.5.1. Enclosed

Forming a public galleria or private corridor that relates to the spaces it links

2.5.2. Open on One Side

Forming a colonnaded passageway that becomes a physical extension of the space it passes
through.

Figure - 13

Stairs and stairways provide for our vertical movement between the levels of a
building or outdoor space

The slope of a stairway, determined by the dimensions of its risers and treads,
should be proportioned to fit our body movement and capability.

There are several basic ways in which to configure the runs of stairs

Straight run stair

L shaped stair
U shaped stair
Circular stair
Spiral stair
Geometric stair

Landings interrupt the run of a stair and enable it to change direction
Landings also provide opportunities for rest and possibilities for access and outlook from the stairway.

Figure - 14

2.6. SPATIAL STANDARDS

Lobby length:
Where swing doors are used, a minimum clear length of:
1570 mm should be provided for general traffic access,
4100 mm should be provided for bed/trolley access.

Lobby width:
For lobbies with single doors for general traffic, a minimum clear width of 1500 mm is
recommended.
For lobbies with double doors (sliding or swing) for patient trolley/bed access, a minimum clear
width of 2150 mm is required.

Internal stairs:
Rise and goings should be uniform through out the flight . Riser 150 170 mm. Thread 280
300 mm.

Landing area:
A landing area should be provided at the top and bottom of the stairs (1200 mm).

6. ASPECTS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR CIRCULATION PLANNING:

Circulation area can be broken into two types,

Primary circulation

Secondary circulation.

Primary circulation is the main route connecting the building core and common spaces

such as elevator lobbies, exit stairs and a core toilet.

49
 Secondary circulation is the aisles between the individual and support spaces.

As a general planning thumb rule, Circulation areas comprises roughly 12% to 16% of total

usable areas.

The width and height of the circulation space should be proportionate with the type and the

amount of movement it must handle.

The distinction in scale should be establish between a public promenade , a more private

hall and a service corridor.

A narrow enclosed path naturally encourages forward motion.

To accommodate more traffic as well as to create space for pausing, resting, or viewing

sections of path can be widened.

The path can also be enlarged by merging with spaces it pass through.

Within a large space, a path can be random, without form or definition, and be determined

by the activities and arrangement of furnishing within a space.
