A+311 is out now. This issue of the architecture magazine A+ Architecture in Belgium presents an intriguing series of circular constructions, both imagined and built. Drawing up this kind of catalogue allows us to better understand the architecture of round buildings.
"The paradox of the circle lies in its being both limitation and unlimitedness at one and the same time. Freedom as a virtually unending field, held together by a circular boundary within which anything is possible. For a designer, this is at once challenging and intimidating – for where do you start?"‐ Job Floris, architect and cofounder of Monadnock
In a new graphic design by Anagramme & Studio de Ronners.
With contributions by Eline Dehullu, Léone Drapeaud, Job Floris, Amaryllis Jacobs, Lara Molino, Eloïse Perrillon, Iwan Strauven, Pieter T’Jonck, Emmanuel van der Beek, Christophe Van Gerrewey.
