What is the relationship between harmony and circulation in architecture?

Harmony and circulation are interdependent in architecture. Harmony refers to the overall sense of balance and cohesion in the design of a building, while circulation refers to the flow of people within and around the building. A well-designed circulation system is essential for creating a harmonious building. The placement of doors, hallways, stairs, and other elements affects how people move through the space and how they interact with each other. A smooth, logical flow of circulation creates a sense of ease and spaciousness, which contributes to the overall harmony of the building. On the other hand, a poorly planned circulation system can create bottlenecks and confusion, which disrupt the overall harmony of the space. Therefore, a good architect designs a circulation system that enhances harmony and vice versa.
