Low capacity horizontal High capacity vertical
Circulation (low capacity) Main entrance
Main exit
This system organizes on a single plane, however circulation operates on varying channels which can be separated by 3-dimensional separation. Although separation is desired programmatically, the system is constrained between the channels which reduces efficiency when operating vertically.
Tangential merge
By acknowledging the limiting nature of the circulation network, a vertical circulation system is introduced.
