BUILDING CIRCULATIONS An entrance connects distinguishing spaces separated by vertical plane. It is accommodated by an opening in a vertical plane of the wall where the form of the opening may vary from just a hole in the wall, to a distinctive gateway.

There are three entrances can be found in DPB, the main entrance, one from the auditorium and another at the bookstore. All these entrances provide overhead shelters for users. Configuration of the path means the linking sequences of space that users are taken through from a chosen starting point to specific destination point. The examples of configuration of path are linear, radial, grid, spiral, network, and composite. A grid configuration can be seen from the first- floor plan of DPB. Parallel paths that intersect at regular intervals and create square and rectangular space.
