The Salt Lake City Library is located in Washington Square.

Despite the aesthetic value that undoubtedly be seen in the Salt Lake City Library, their movement appears to be a bit messy.



In the outsider, the path to the library do not look so disrupted, but the bridge over it looks like a fast way, and not that well solved the space for a transverse circulation problem. Outside the building can be seen a huge and out of scale space full of nothing. Some vertical elements on the floor give to the spectator a “patter” to follow, a path that the people “should” follow, just wrong. A good circulation must be done taking into account that the quality architecture does not require the viewer to it adapts, it must be created from man's natural circulation.And this place does not seem to show it, which is also found inside.



In the inside we will see, again, a series of passages organized around a central vacuum, getting us in a “ i don't know where to go” situation, with vertical movements in the best way by elevators. The total opposite of the definition of Architecture and horizontal movement. It can be seen, however, a vertical circulation element quite hierarchical, but can not resolve the other situations.
