[en] The round architecture is invisible in cities; it corresponds with unique buildings, by use, situation or meaning. It seemed there were little round architectures; it was what aim us to research. Gradually we realized the error and we modify the approach to work. Why only binoculars buildings are built having a basement full of round remains? What has changed? What are the benefits? We start realizing that round shapes are surrounding us. The first houses that were built, were round in all climates of the world. With the historic breakthrough of urban civilization, round houses were abandoned. The history of Western civilization only used binoculars buildings, except in special cases. With the twentieth century, reappear the first round houses, by egalitarianism, distinction, experimentation or functionality. It will be after the war, in the febrile atmosphere of reconstruction, when many architectures reappear round. Followed by three conceptual lines: ‐ Changing the architectural paradigm with Team X generation, counting local cultures and history. ‐ Organic architecture, designing the house as an integrated living organism in a natural habitat. ‐ Renovating impulses in the technique complemented by the appearance of lightweight materials. Creation of the exoskeleton against the internal skeleton. The round architecture appears at locations more than others do and some uses are more accurate. The construction technique helps to define works, but semantic reasons are the ones that decide to be round.

[gl] A arquitectura redonda é invisible nas cidades, e correspóndese con edificios moi singulares, ben polo uso, situación ou significado. Parecía que existían poucas arquitecturas redondas, foi o que nos animou investigar. Paseniñamente nos decatamos do erro. Modificamos o enfoque do traballo. ¿por qué tendo un subsolo cheo de restos redondos, se fan soamente edificios prismáticos? ¿qué cambeou? ¿qué ventaxas ten? Pártese da constatación que estamos rodeados de formas redondas. As primeiras casas foron redondas en todos os climas do mundo. Co avance histórico da civilización urbana as casas redondas se abandoaron. A historia da civilización occidental soamente utilizou edificios prismáticas, agás en casos singulares. Co século XX, aparecen as primeiras casas redondas, por igualitarismo, distinción, experimentación ou funcionalidade. Será despois da guerra, no clima febril da reconstrucción, cando agromen numerosas arquitecturas redondas. Seguen tres liñas conceptuais: - Cambio do paradigma arquitectónico coa xeración Team X, contando culturas locais e historia. - Arquitectura orgánica, concebindo a casa como un organismo vivo integrado no hábitat natural. - Impulsos renovadores na técnica complementados coa aparición de materiais lixeiros. Creación do exoesqueleto fronte ao esqueleto interno. O redondo aparece nuns emprazamentos mais que noutros e determinados usos sonlle máis propícios. A técnica constructiva axuda definir obras, pero son razóns semánticas as que deciden que será redonda. Conclúese comprobando que as arquitecturas redondas limítanse a oito tipos formais diferentes. O que desvela a parte débil desta xeometría, ten menos recursos que a prismática. Pola contra é máis intensa e acompaña os anceios de perfección.
