Unity of humanity and nature through circular architecture

Intertwining circular architecture ebonies and conveys the important and interdependent relationships between humanity, nature and the built environment. In this image above the seclusion and interconnectedness due to the surrounding architecture provide a sense of how nature provides comfort and security through the delving ridges and valleys that flow through the Earth's crust.

This overlooking shot of the Architecture school mounted on a bridge reveals the rejuvenating surrounding environment throughout the building as a circle reveals all sides exposing the architecture in every degree to the endless and peaceful environment.

This angel especially depicts the interwoven built environment of the architecture school throughout the surrounding natural environment. Architecture students while travelling within the circular structured school are able to experience an interesting way of circulation while being hidden in the deepest part of nature's beauty.

To establish a balanced relationship with nature the actual architecture school doesn't encompass many different colours, relying on natural light and the purity of white. The folly however gives a small interesting twist where vibrant colours are shown therefore also expressing the privilege and occasional casual meeting between staff and students to exchange ideas and bask in nature's freshness.

This last image therefore concludes the theory when expressing the solitude of nature but the unity established in a concentrated natural environment and a circular structured architecture school. The image of dusk is starting to reveal itself allowing staff and students to enjoy the starry skies unpolluted by human kind's carelessness.

FInal Architectural theory

Unity between human and nature through circular Architecture

Circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path which promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural environment. The Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round therefore it is natural for exploring mankind's desire to reconnect to the earth, through the circular built environment. Instead of controlling nature by enforcing order declaring circular organic architecture to be the modern ideal and the teaching so much needed if we are to see the whole of life.

The harmonious connection we seek with nature by merging humanity and nature through circular architecture therefore provides connections: between nature and people, people and people, people and buildings, building and buildings, buildings and nature. Even the wind, in its greatest power, whirls therefore circular pathways and structure demonstrates a respect and appreciation for nature.

Circular structures deliberately expose the natural materials used in the building process. We see the branches, the rocks and all the materials for what they are. Therefore Circular movement aims in providing ideas that they hope will inspire us all to rethink the relationship between nature and the built environment.
