“There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature. Therefore, buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners.” ~ Antoni Gaudi

Sadly having all our buildings this way would just not be practical especially in this country where we have a horrible lack of space. It is very crowded in the UK. However there is definitely something wonderful about a spherical building. This is globe houses the Planetarium at the Science Centre in Bristol. It is a wonderfully bold structure that sits on the edge of a pedestrianised square like some space ship from the future.

Quite cool and fitting for a science building, especially one with a planetarium.

Interesting picture! I think the link of the horizon is a straight line, although it can curve if you see all of it from a distance.
