Circulation in Section

This section shows the circulation of public and private. There will be three public entrances. One is located at the West side of the "private building", which takes visitors directly to the fourth, sixth and seventh floor. The other two entrances (escalator and elevator) are located underneath the private building. Visitors, when entering the library from the public building, have the option to explore the building by using the escalators, but also use the bridges to enter the "private building" to participate for instance workshops in the computer lab or special showings/ presentations in the auditorium. After a presentation, the visitor may use the grand stairs in the auditorium lobby area to reach the top floor with the upper bridges which lead to the roof-top cafe. A separated entrance is dedicated to the librarians in the Eastern part of the "private building".

  1. I think this diagram start to show how you think about the movement through your building. It shows me that you think of this as a building, not two separate buildings on two different sites.
    Are there stairs on the far right side interconnecting the spaces above each other (diagonal lines).

  2. The diagonal lines on the far right are escalators as well. These escalators serve downward circulation.
