Abstract: Pathways can be conceived as the perceptual thread linking spaces of a building or series of interior and exterior spaces relative to where we are, and where we anticipate going. Studies have shown significant relationship between circulation and the ease of wayfinding, especially in hospitals. This paper reviewed the fundamental ideas associated with the wayfinding process and formally linking them with circulation configurations in buildings. It further presented the layers of circulation that define the paths of movement in buildings as essential elements notable in architectural design which can improve wayfinding performance. This is followed by a review of potential concepts that enable accessibility and spatial circulation effectiveness derivable from theories of axial space, convex space and isovist fields. These theories were eventually applied in the conceptual design of the Baze University hospital (BUH) in Nigeria. An analysis of the BUH circulation system using visibility graphs showed the significance of larger carriage pathways for better visibility fields in indoor wayfinding. The significance of this study is the application of fundamental architectural principles in the Hospital circulation design process.
Keywords: Wayfinding design, wayfinding principles, circulation design, circulation configuration, circulation efficiency, hospital circulation design
