One of the fundamental elements of architectural design, circulation, refers to the systems of movement and access that directly influence the functioning of a building or space and the user experience. Circulation plays a decisive role in organizing transitions between spaces, ensuring functional coherence, and designing user guidance. According to Ching (2002), circulation is not only a physical means of passage but also a design element that shapes spatial perception and wayfinding behavior.
