Hi, My name is Daniela Zarichta, and I am going to describe in this short work the inside and outside circulation characteristics of the Salt Lake City Library.

media type="file" key="P1-DZ.mp3" width="240" height="20" The approach to the Salt Lake City Library is represented by a long path surrounded by grass, giving an impression of space and relation with the environment. Form this point of view, the library building looks magnificent, because of the size and the shape of the entire structure.

This square is a point of converging traffic of other entrances, and its big size gives a sensation of space, to allow a broad and direct circulation.

The hall has a very long and broad corridor, expressing the directness of the circulation inside the building, allowing a fast access to all the secondary rooms.

The aesthetic and modern appearance of both the stairs and the lift system in the hall defines the big architectural value of the library building. Also, the building has an external stair which conduces to the library square.

These long parallel corridors are connected in some places by transversal bridges, that cross above the hall.

The Salt Lake City Library is a very beautiful building, which combines a modern aesthetic with a functional design. The paths and corridors are very direct, for a good horizontal circulation, and the stairs and lift systems located at the center of the hall permit an easy vertical circulation media type="file" key="P7-DZ.mp3" width="240" height="20"
