?The circle . . . is the synthesis of the greatest oppositions. [It] combines the concentric and the excentric in a single form, and in equilibrium. Of the three primary forms [triangle, square, circle], it points most clearly to the fourth dimension.?

?The circle . . . is the synthesis of the greatest oppositions. [It] combines the concentric and the excentric in a single form, and in equilibrium. Of the three primary forms [triangle, square, circle], it points most clearly to the fourth dimension.? This quote, spoken by artist and Bauhaus professor Wassily Kandinsky, helps to explain the obsession architects, from Palladians to Modernists, have long held with pure geometrical forms ? chief among them the circle.Inspired by this obsession, one Instagram account titled ?Circular Spaces? has collected many of the best examples of circles found in architecture. The account tracks the geometries at all scales, from the planet-sized plan of the Death Star to the familiar intimacy of a round dining table. Check out a selection from ?Circular Spaces? below. Plan for Death Star II, a spherical structure measuring 160 km in diameter, with 560 internal levels, which could contain 2,471,647 passengers and crew, #circularspaces, thanks @lukdur for the reminder A post shared by @circularspaces on Dec 18, 2016 at 6:43am PST Plan for a House of Pleasure, Montmartre, Paris, 1787, by #ClaudeNicolasLedoux, via @ethel_baraona, #circularspaces #?
