path may pass through a space axially, obliquely, or along its edge mediating spaces can be used to link the path with the spaces the configuration of the path is flexible Composite-combination of the above patterns.Network-paths that connect established point in space.Grid-two sets of parallel paths that intersect at regular intervals and create square or rectangular fields of space.Spiral-a single, continuous path that originates from a central point, revolves around it, and becomes increasingly distant from it.Radial-linear paths extending from or terminating at a central, common point.The configuration of a path can either reinforce a spatial organization or contrast with the spatial organization.The form and scale of entrances and paths should convey the functional and symbolic distinction between public promenades, private halls, and service corridors for example.The intersection of paths is always a point of decision-making for the person approaching it.The contour of a path depends on the means of transportation.All paths are linear in nature, have a starting point.
If an entrance pierces a thick wall, a transitional space is created.Steps/ramps add vertical dimension and temporal quality to the act of entering a building.Articulating the opening with ornamentation or decorative embellishment.Making the opening lower, wider, or narrower than anticipated.Entrances can be reinforced by several means:.Recessed-provides shelter and receives a portion of exterior space into the realm of the building.Projected-forms a transitional space, announces its function to the approach, and provides overhead shelter.Flush-maintains the continuity of the surface of a wall and can be deliberately obscured.Grouped formally into these categories: flush, projected, and recessed.Best signified by establishing a real or implied plane perpendicular to the path of the approach.Portals/gateways: orient people to the path and welcoming or guard against entry.building entrance is either hidden until the point of arrival or viewed off and on throughout the approach prolongs the sequence of the approach and emphasizes the 3D form of a building as one moves around its perimeter path can be redirected as many times in order to delay and prolong the sequence of the approach enhances the effect of perspective on the front façade and form of a building leads directly to the entrance of a building along a straight path Vary in duration from a few paces through a compressed space to a lengthy and circuitous route.One prepares to see, experience, and use the spaces within a building.
