**What is it that the design of horizontal circulation determines? **  - Basically determines the basic shape an character of the entire structure **What are the four practical requirements of any horizontal circulation system mentioned in the lecture? **  - Adequate in size  - Directness  - Points of conversion traffic must be expressed  - Changes in levels must be clearly expressed <span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px initial initial; color: #0000ff; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">**<span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 17px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What are the three examples (names of buildings) mentioned by Prof. Watanabe to illustrate different horizontal circulation patterns? ** <span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 17px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> - Pennsylvania Station in New York <span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 17px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> - Le Corbusier perspective for the CentroSoyus building in Moscou <span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 17px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> - Palais de Justice in Paris <span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px initial initial; color: #0000ff; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">**<span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 17px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Why is the concept of Horizontal Circulation important in any urban plan or architectural design? ** <span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px initial initial; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 17px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> - Circulation has an esthetic value as well as a functional one. Is a necessary element between the parts and the hole.
