Proprioceptive Senses
Are those sensations that are involved with sensing the body's own
movement and informing the individual of his or her spatial
location, as well as the movement of the limbs.
This sensory system is actually made up of two different systems:
Edges
The perception of edges conveys the shape or form of space, as
well as the haptic sensations of space as we move through the
environment.
When a person travels from one location to another, he sees things
differently.
When a man goes up to and through the door, for example, the
edge of the doorjamb expands to reveal the array of the next room.
In a series of related sequences, one vista leads to the next.
Circulation
We are dealing with mathematical solids as forms to be linked
together and permeated by movement patterns in architecture, not
as pure barriers.
Our notion of the shortest distance between two places in
architecture will be the range that can be covered with the
minimum of effort, or the line that has the fewest breaks or jerks in
the natural flow of human movement.
Shortest Distance
The most cost-effective distance, using the least amount of energy
and fuel, and thus the most effective.
Service Circulations imply quick traffic, as any wasted time is a
wastage of the organism's resources. They should be as clean as
feasible and as small as practicable.
On the contrary, in some cases, public circulation should be
managed so that the public can traverse as much area as feasible.
This should never get to the point of boredom or exhaustion. (For
example, a department store)
Architectural Application
Understand how humans move through the circulatory system and,
in particular, how effortlessly and easily they transition from one
activity to the next.
We can all reviewed a plan by having followed the movements of
the individuals who are in it from the time they arrive at the points
of entry (entrance) until they leave the building – as workers,
visitors, patrons, and so on – and trying to project ourselves into
the minds of the individuals at all levels and activities they engage
in and inside.
We can determine whether or not the plan would work after this
test.
In the conclusion, it should be the most important factor for any
architectural composition.
