====** This Library is the main branch building of a system of libraries located in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was design by the architect Moshe Safdie and constructed in 2003. A very interesting thing is that the whole library depends on natural lighting, reducing the need of lights in the library. A huge five story glass wall is where most of the light comes from. In this text we will describe how his vertical and horizontal circulation is. **====

====**This building counts with a very good horizontal circulation. In the outside some oblique paths connect the city with the library in a dynamic way. Some bridges over the paths create some transversal circulation. On the inside the circulation it’s based on longs corridors that connect all the parts of the library. **====

====** The vertical circulation it’s indispensable because it has different levels, this way everybody can access to all the spaces of the library. A ramp was necessary for the access of the people and the ones with special conditions. There are also others types of vertical circulation; it has three crystal elevators and a spiral grand staircase. **====
