'Circular connection' concept in housing architecture

Abstract

Circular connection is one of the essential concepts of the organization of living space. The most commonly involves the formation of a continuous communication within the system chain of inter-related premises. It is used in situations where it is desired to achieve a higher level of space in terms of the small surface area, thereby diluting or neutralizing the feeling of lack of space, but also in larger surface area with the aim of clearly differentiating or linking distant functional areas. The science has not recorded the first use of circular relationships in history, although it can certainly be argued that the earliest examples existed during the Middle Ages, and even hints centuries. The aim is to systematization of different forms of circular bonds which are present in both theory and practice, as well as a review of the different triggers that can lead to its application.

Kružna veza je jedan od esencijalnih koncepata u organizaciji stambenog prostora. Najčešće podrazumeva formiranje neprekinute komunikacije u okviru sistema lančano nadovezanih prostorija. Primenjuje se u situacijama kada se želi postići veći nivo prostornosti u uslovima malih kvadratura, pri čemu se umanjuje ili neutrališe osećaj skučenosti prostora, ali i kod većih kvadratura s ciljem jasnog diferenciranja ili povezivanja udaljenih funkcionalnih zona. U nauci još uvek nije evidentirana prva primena kružne veze u istoriji, mada se sa sigurnošću može tvrditi da su najraniji primeri postojali još u periodu srednjeg veka, a nagoveštaji čak vekovima unazad. Cilj rada je sitematizacija različitih pojavnih oblika kružne veze koji su prisutni u teoriji i praksi, kao i preispitivanje različitih povoda koji mogu da dovedu do njene primene.
