Spiral


winding in a continuous and gradually widening (or tightening) curve, either around a central point on a flat plane or about an axis so as to form a cone


The spiral in architecture is an archetype that has a wide array of possibilities through many different iterations. Not only that, but it has begun on an exponential popularity growth in the real world due to the ever-advancing technologies and engineering of today. It is an architecture that was once constructed as simplistic but is now being studied through an entirely evolved lens. In a way, it is still simplistic in nature. What makes the idea so vast is its ability to integrate in countless ways into the making of habitable spaces. With spiral architecture in place all over the world and much more to come, it is an archetype that is just hitting its stride in the potential of what could be discovered within the idea.
