But, actually, there are so many functions and facilities in multi-purpose buildings, that many architectural considerations, especially the control of traffic lines or their connections, are made easily for keeping the user spending their time without prevention in city scale multi purpose buildings. In this study, the traffic connection system in Tokyo Midtown is investigated by using of spatial configuration graphic of circulation with function diagram and bubble diagram and is cleared that there are architectural traffic connections both in city scale complex buildings and in particular buildings related to outer open spaces.
