A PRESENTATION ON

Entry and ApproachRoll: 140113 150113 150123 150134 150142

• Approach• Entry• Circulation of the path• Path-space relationship• Form of the circulation space

We are going to describe about site approach and

building entry

Element of circulation

OBJECTIVES

1) APPROACH• THE DISTANT VIEW

2) ENTRANCE • FROM OUTSIDE TO INSIDE

OBJECTIVES

THE FIRST PHASE OF THE CIRCULATION SYSTEM, WHICH WE ARE PREPARED TO SEE, EXPERIENCE AND USE THE SPACES WITHIN A BUILDING.

• First phase of the circulation system• Distant view• Obscuring the distinction between inside and outside• Use of the space within a building

There are 3 types of approach 1. Frontal approach 2. Oblique approach 3. Spiral approach

ApproachOBJECTIVES

Approach to Notre Dame Du Haut, Ronchamp,France,le corbusier

OBJECTIVES: APPROACH

1. FRONTAL• A FRONTAL APPROACH LEADS DIRECTLY TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUILDING ALONG A STRAIGHT ,

AXIAL PATH.• THE VISUAL GOAL THAT TERMINATES THE APPROACH IS CLEAR.

• Entire front facade of a building or a Path prolongs the sequence of approach

FINDINGS: APPROACH

Architect, Andrea palladio

FRONTAL

Villa Barbaro

OBJECTIVES: APPROACH

2. OBLIQUE • EFFECT ON PERSPECTIVE ON THE FRONT FAÇADE AND FORM OF A BUILDING.

• AT AN EXTREME ANGLE , ITS ENTRANCE CAN PROJECT BEYOND ITS FAÇADE TO BE MORE CLEARLY VISIBLE.

Path prolongs the sequence of approach

OBJECTIVES

OBLIQUE

OBJECTIVES: APPROACH

3. spiral • Prolongs the sequence of the

approach

• Emphasizes the three dimensional form of a building as people moves around its perimeter

• Building entrance might be viewed intermittently during the approach to clarify position or may be hidden until the point of arrival

entrance Entrance is a space within a space of a defined field of exterior space, involves the act of

penetrating a vertical plane that distinguish one space from another and separetes,where you are, from where you are going

• Should be usable by everyone• Entrance should always be identifiable within the building façade and allow views into the

building for reassurance• Good lighting entrance must be well lit and where ever possible weather protection must

be provided

Entrance can be grouped formally into 3 categories 1. Flush entrance 2. Recessed entrance 3. Projected entrance

Flush

Projected

Recessed

OBJECTIVES: ENTRANCE

1. FLUSH A flush entrance maintains the continuity of the surface of a wall and can be if desired, deliberately obscured.

• A Projected entrance forms a transitional space, announce their

function to the approach and provide shelter overhead• Can be defined by a projected horizontal plane or form• Used for visual clarity of the entrance from an extreme angle• used generally in composite climatic zone• For car drop-out projected entry is used as shelter

Projected entry

Von sternberg House, california, Richard Neutra

• Provides shelter & receives a portion of exterior space• Emphasizes interlocked forms• Used generally in composite climatic zone

Recessed entrance

OBJECTIVES: ENTRANCE

House for Mrs Robert Venturi, pennsylvania, venturi and short

PAGE: 01-01

The entrance can be signified by establishing a real or implied plane perpendicular to the path of approach

• Establishing two pillars or• An overhead beam or• By changing in level

A NOTION OF AN ENTRANCE CAN BE VISUALLY REINFORCED BY:

• MAKING THE OPENING LOWER, WIDER, OR NARROWER THAN ANTICIPATED.

• MAKING THE ENTRANCE DEEP AND CIRCUITOUS.

• ARTICULATING THE OPENING WITH ORNAMENTATION OR DECORATIVE EMBELLISHMENT.
