a belvedere

Today’s post takes its impetus from a number of geometric games I’ve been playing with myself recently – the staircase moves from a circle to a square in plan, the tower moves from a square to a circle in elevation, the staircase moves from a rectangle to a circle as it moves from floor to floor.  Programmatically, it is a take on Krier’s belvederes, which crop up again and again in his oeuvre…

Below, a roof that modulates between a square base and a round oculus at the crown, again figured as a tall, shingled pyramid. Come to think of it, what if we combined the two, a really long wall with a larger rotated square pavilion cut out of a…
