Normally, airport hub, transport hub, and other public spaces seem extravagant in their spatial layout. I have reasoned it is because the spaces are scaled according to a crowd, most likely a moving one. Instead of using dimensions related to the human proportions, large public spaces are designed according to the speeds and vectors of circulation. This is to say we relate to spaces by moving through them.
To be specific, we move with both our bodies and our eyes (other senses less so). Patterns of movement are suggested by physical and visual boundaries created by static and dynamic interferences. Thus, by using architecture to design physical and visual boundaries within space, I can manipulate how users circulate and experience the space.
