 * Types of circulation in Generali Tower **



The Generali Tower in Paris, is a great building, which was designed for an architectural competition. Apparently it's an office building, complies with all rules to be self-sufficient and sustainable.

The circulation in this building is complex. The pedestrian access is completely horizontal, there is no gap between inside and outside. Everything is the same level. However, there are external stairs, to direct the people to the mezzanine in the second level.

Vertical circulation is more complex. At the level of access there are three escalators that transported the people up to level two. The other form of circulation that can be observed, are the elevators, in the access floor can count 5 elevators, of which only one reaches the end of the tower and the other four only at half, in there the users have to switch to another lift. This is because the building was designed to save energy. In the video not seen other types of movement.
