Circulation_Types

Generali Tower located in la Défense, Paris; will be one of the tallest buildings in the European Union. Based on the video we can identify and explain the different types of horizontal and vertical circulation that will take place in the interior of the building as well as in its surroundings.

The horizontal circulation takes place mostly in the inside of the building, which first floor has a vast lobby connects with the wide plaza in front of the building. When entering the building, each person can take a different direction, either continuing towards the corridors in that same floor or taken the different element of vertical circulation. In the outside of the building there is a staircase that takes you to the inside. As well in the lobby we can find escalators and elevators to the mezzanine or to the other 22 floors. In conclusion the building has many elements which define horizontal and vertical circulation and let people move throughout the building. Also the shape of the building helps to transmit the sensation of ascending.
