Abstract analysis; Circulation

Studying the major lines of circulation and how it correlates with the major lines of the architecture







This study was looking at the main circulation and how it correlates with the main areas of the house.



Art incorporated into everyday living, how Aalto devises the space into modernist art and creates a composition of spaces that reflect their function.

Process #1 Breakdown of the plan to shapes

Process #2 Deconstructing the plan into a Modernist painting, studying the size of the spaces, the repetition of blocks. Through this process I found that within the public areas, the spaces closed up, the circulation became more restricted as did the space. The rooms are more repetitive in size and more linear in comparison to the living/public space downstairs that is more open.

Study 3: How does the circulation space change according to the function of the space?
In this study I found the width/size of the circulation space opens up depending on whether the space is public or private. Within public space, the circulation channels are wider and in the private space the circulation is confined and channels down.
