interactive space seminar

SPACES/ZONES....


Architectual Wayfinding. I learnt that there are 5 primary elements to architectual wayfinding.


1 paths
2 markers
3 nodes...
4 edges
5 zones
These are the design criera for highly legible and comprehsible urban enviroments.

I also learnt the circulation system is the key organising element of a site or buliding. People use circulation systems to develo a mental map.
There are difeerent spaces that contain diffeent zones. The way the space is designed is created so a use can be performed. They all vary.
We transition to different spaces. Eg in bathroom we take our clothes off or bedroom, however you don't do that once you walk out the room.
Eg the square in Nottingham. The square is very common to have events eg xmas stalls, etc...
Or in Australia Brisbon, eg China Town there is a street there you drive on the oppoisite side of road in China Town to reflect the Chinese laws.

This seminar gave me more of an insight that bulidings are bulit to function accordingly.
