2. • Approach
• Entry
• Circulation of the path
• Path-space relationship
• Form of the circulation space
We are going to describe about site approach and
building entry
Element of circulation

3. OBJECTIVES
1) APPROACH
• THE DISTANT VIEW
2) ENTRANCE
• FROM OUTSIDE TO INSIDE
OBJECTIVES

4. THE FIRST PHASE OF THE CIRCULATION SYSTEM, WHICH WE ARE PREPARED TO SEE,
EXPERIENCE AND USE THE SPACES WITHIN A BUILDING.
• First phase of the circulation system
• Distant view
• Obscuring the distinction between inside and outside
• Use of the space within a building
There are 3 types of approach
1. Frontal approach
2. Oblique approach
3. Spiral approach
ApproachOBJECTIVES

5. Approach to Notre Dame Du Haut, Ronchamp,France,
le corbusier

6. OBJECTIVES: APPROACH
1. FRONTAL
•. A FRONTAL APPROACH LEADS DIRECTLY TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUILDING ALONG A
STRAIGHT , AXIAL PATH.
•. THE VISUAL GOAL THAT TERMINATES THE APPROACH IS CLEAR.
•. Entire front facade of a building or a Path prolongs the sequence of approach

7. FINDINGS: APPROACH
Architect, Andrea palladio
FRONTAL
Villa Barbaro

8. OBJECTIVES: APPROACH
2. OBLIQUE
• EFFECT ON PERSPECTIVE ON THE FRONT FAÇADE AND FORM OF A BUILDING.
• AT AN EXTREME ANGLE , ITS ENTRANCE CAN PROJECT BEYOND ITS FAÇADE TO
BE MORE CLEARLY VISIBLE.
Path prolongs the sequence of approach

9. Glass house, Philip jhonson
OBJECTIVES
OBLIQUE

10. OBJECTIVES: APPROACH
3. spiral
• Prolongs the sequence of the
approach
• Emphasizes the three dimensional
form of a building as people moves
around its perimeter
• Building entrance might be viewed
intermittently during the approach
to clarify position or may be hidden
until the point of arrival

entrance
Entrance is a space within a space of a defined field of exterior space, involves the act of
penetrating a vertical plane that distinguish one space from another and separetes,where you
are, from where you are going
• Should be usable by everyone
• Entrance should always be identifiable within the building façade and allow views into the
building for reassurance
• Good lighting entrance must be well lit and where ever possible weather protection must
be provided
Entrance can be grouped formally into 3 categories
1. Flush entrance
2. Recessed entrance
3. Projected entrance

13. Flush
Projected
Recessed

14. OBJECTIVES: ENTRANCE
1. FLUSH
A flush entrance maintains the continuity of the
surface of a wall and can be if desired, deliberately
obscured.

15. Glass house, Philip jhonson

16. Werner house, mies van der rohe

17. PAGE: 01-01
• A Projected entrance forms a transitional space, announce their
function to the approach and provide shelter overhead
• Can be defined by a projected horizontal plane or form
• Used for visual clarity of the entrance from an extreme angle
• used generally in composite climatic zone
• For car drop-out projected entry is used as shelter
Projected entry

18. Lange house, mies van der rohe

19. Von sternberg House, california, Richard Neutra

20. PAGE: 01-01
• Provides shelter & receives a portion of exterior space
• Emphasizes interlocked forms
• Used generally in composite climatic zone
Recessed entrance
OBJECTIVES: ENTRANCE

21. House for Mrs Robert Venturi, pennsylvania, venturi and short

22. PAGE: 01-01
The entrance can be signified by establishing a real or
implied plane perpendicular to the path of approach
• Establishing two pillars or
• An overhead beam or
• By changing in level
Signified entrance

23. Fransworth house, Mies van der rohe

24. A NOTION OF AN ENTRANCE CAN BE VISUALLY
REINFORCED BY:
• MAKING THE OPENING LOWER, WIDER, OR
NARROWER THAN ANTICIPATED.
• MAKING THE ENTRANCE DEEP AND CIRCUITOUS.
• ARTICULATING THE OPENING WITH ORNAMENTATION
OR DECORATIVE EMBELLISHMENT.
