The main point of Bordeaux house's circulation is vertical movement. There are 4 kinds of vertical circulation which are mother, father children and guest's circulation (left stair: mother, lift: fathat, center stair: guest, spiral stair: children). The main reason why I chose this topic is that the vertical movement has the strong relationship with koolhaas's basic concept of this house. Basically, this house is designed for a husband of the couple who is not able to move around without wheelchair, so Koolhaas wanted to design this house for him to access every part of the spaces. Therefore, through these 4 elements of the house, he provided the possibility of movement. Furthermore, the interesting part of an architectural element is the lift. In this house, the lift plays a important role such as an elevator, a part of spaces (living room, office, bed room) and a step for taking the books from bookshelves.
