ANALYSIS

nowon women’s educational center

ORGANIZATION the site has a linear organization, the building is pretty narrow and long in length, this makes the circulation pretty simple and easy to navigate.

CIRCULATION the building has a main central path that separates the public areas from the private areas

(private

rooms like classrooms, lectures, ect)

IMPORTANT TO MY PROJECT i found the circulation for this project the mosti mportant thing that can apply to my own project, seeing the way a central path used to seprate public and private and seeing a common path used on all

4

floors is something to note for my project

that contains both public and private areas.

the second floor just uses the

corners of the building but not

CIRCULATION this project has a central path that leads to public areas which remain in the center, and private areas are in the corners of the building which i think is succesful. i do think due to size and the fact that the second floor isn’t all connected it makes it a bit innconvienent to travel from one side to the other.

IMPORTANT TO MY PROJECT for this project it’s important to study how they are separating private spaces from public, considering this project has such a large program it’s also important to take note how they separate the program throughout the space. the basement is a good case study to reflect on since it is more structured building)

ANALYSIS daycare center for disabled children

ORGANIZATION the site has a linear organization, the building is narrow and uses a hallway as the main path with the private room on the left and right of egress.

CIRCULATION the building uses one hallway to travel through the entire building, i think the circulation for thi site is succesful but also very straight forward with not alot of freedom design wise for the private rooms.

IMPORTANT TO MY PROJECT an important factor to stay aware of is similar to the first precedent which is the use of a central path that guides the user from public to private space very easily.

participatory resource center ARCHITECT: NATALIA MUNOZ AGUILAR LOCATION: SPAIN AREA:794 YEAR:2011

about this is an exempt building whose geometry has three parts twinned with each other around a courtyard, where all uses are oriented in the space relationship.

The

building is supported by the public

space, by a piece rectangular courtyard which arises from the interaction of other parts.

ANALYSIS participatory resource center

ORGANIZATION this project is clustered and from the way the entrance is formed somewhat radial. the entrance is formed like a polygon where you can go around the building completely, the second floor is also stacked on top

CIRCULATION formed like a polygon the entrance makes it easy to access any door point leading you to any section of the building you need to get to, having private room in the corners of the building making it easy to separate public from private.

IMPORTANT TO MY PROJECT i found the circulation for this project the most important to apply to my project. mainl due to the central circulation and mindfulness of separating the private spaces in corners
