CIRCULATION is not simply the placement of stairs, elevators and corridors - it is the ordering principle you establish to connect various program components;

CIRCULATION often has a hierarchy - for example: main circulation, student circulation, school circulation, exiting circulation and so on.

CIRCULATION should support the conceptual idea of your building…..or it IS the concept of your building. think about le corbusier’s architectural promenade, bernard tschumi’s event space, rem koolhaas’ agora idea (public place within city) for the dutch embassy circulation
