Circulation System as Infrastructure

To define Circulation as an infrastructure we must first identify its function. Circulation, in any system, be it mechanical, architectural or biological, has one primary function. This is to distribute an object from one point to or through a series of other points. These points and there distributive priories dictate the design of the appropriate pathways of the circulatory system. This infrastructure relies on a specific set of mechanical or directional tools to achieve its means. In a factory, that uses automated packaging, the appropriate mechanical devices are placed and or custom built to conform to the pathway laid out in the initial circulatory scheme. These mechanisms facilitate and influence design possibilities, but the pathway remains the priority.
