Exploration through Sections.

Transitional spaces and paths within Temple function both as necessary environmental and spatial transitions but can also have symbolic as an airlock between outside and inside, to reduce sound transmission or mitigate a change in direction, to underscore degrees of sacredness and help increase privacy between zones, or to accentuate or heighten a spatial sequence

Courtyards Courtyards, which form an integral part of the tradition- al residences, act as a microclimate modifier. The courtyard acts as a natural channel to allow the smoke and heatof the house to escape finally the circulation needs to be clear and unobstructed. This allows the user to navigate their way around the space effortlessly, and without any need to stop and think about where they are going. In addition to this, the designer should make the circulation comfortable to travel around by minimizing the route between two points.

In addition, repetition of the same space creates a familiarity for the user and, as a result, will create a pleasant atmosphere and therefore this will lead to an enjoyable experience overall. On the whole, if these two rules have been used when designing a circulation plan, it is much more likely that any design will be more successful and enjoyable for an individual.
