Illusive Movement

Austin Nguyen – Doris Sung Oftentimes we design to prioritize programs, but how would architecture look if we design to prioritize circulation? What does efficient and comfortable circulation look like, to the masses and the individual?

Designing circulation isn't all that simple, as many factors influence the decisions people make when selecting a path of travel. Whether it is choosing between ramps and stairs, the long path or the short, architecture inevitably is a key element in creating a preferred path, altering the perception of which path is better to take. My study explores the complexities of wayfinding, its architecture and its application to programs.
