The practical requirements for circulation are clearly expressed, horizontally and vertically, making the structure ideal to visit. Therefore, this building deserves its own explanation.

First of all, the circulation has an adequate size, spacious, broad, and direct. Second, either you walk through the corridors, hallways and paths, or you use the stairways and elevator, the sensation is unique and you will not have problems. Third, the points of converging traffic are evidently free for rapid exits. And fourth, changes in level are especially treated; window lines create this unique difference of floors. But what really makes the difference is the ramp that establishes what is going to be each level.

The main space of the building is four-leveled where you can see each floor. This space is mainly for commerce, and you have a number of stairs that you can use to go to the 1st floor and others. In addition to that, there are four elevators you can use for the same purpose, but also to go to the floors below. Therefore, as we said before, there is an admirable long ramp outside the library that leads you to the top of the building where you can have a spectacular view of the city. These elements make the vertical circulation perfect.

On the other hand, the horizontal circulation is extraordinary because it is not linear. The approach to the building can be considered frontal and is made by paths that go through hills that make the advance exciting. When you are in front the entrance the feeling is extraordinary, because you pass from a big space, that is outside, to another big space, through small doors. Once inside the edge is changed to a curve, and the corridors and hallways connect each side of the upper floors in an extraordinary way.

To conclude, this library is the perfect example to use to describe circulation, because there is an employ of each element in the correct way: elevators, stairways, paths and a special ramp. media type="custom" key="4070343" media type="file" key="Salt Lake City Public Library.flv"
