The main passageway in Condon hall uses guiding architectural elements to portray the circulation and capitalization of the space. The bike area below the stairwell is outside but kept open via a slight cavity between two external walls, thus adding practicality to the space as a storage spot for commuters. The two sets of outdoor stairs help delineate the direc-tion of the passage so that outside, even before the south entrance doorway, the passage is made crystal clear. The stairs begin on the same level, and in close proximity to the bike area’s opening. The central passageway, a very direct route from the south entrance to the northern exit, utilizes pillars, columns, and ramps, as well as the protruding walls at the end of the hall, to aid the visitors along their journey by helping to define the space. The stairwell next to the main entrance at the south end veers off to a secondary circulation from the main passage which leads to the second floor. There are mini-mal variations in texture to this building, mostly it is composed of concrete; however, the view of the round indented holes from the concrete do create a consistent rhythm for the interior as visitors walk along the hallway. As visitors approach the exit via the main passageway they encounter a slight slope and shrinking enclosure, made by a lower ceiling and the two interior walls that allow for easier access as there are two doors available in which the visitors may exit.

Zone 4 Hosts the most males of the site. They are often found using or watching the giant chess board which is referred to as the most used activity at Westlake.
Zone 1 Hosts the most female users throughout the site; this could be due to the fact that this zone has attractive shops, is used for socialing and eating lunch, and is the space in which pedestrians felt safest.
Zone 2 Has the fewest locals and thus the most transients and tourists. Most people using this zone are here to catch the bus in the afternoon.
Zone 3 Is where the most sitting occurs. Benches help provide comfort and rest while the many trees in this zone help shelter the users.
