centrally-planned building
Isaac Kremer/ September 9, 2023/ / 0 comments
A building in which the sides are of equal length and in which the main space is symmetrical when bisected laterally and longitudinally. A centrally-planned building may be square, circular, or polygonal. The most important feature of a centrally-planned building is the open space at the center of the building, developed around a vertical axis. Contrast with longitudinally-planned building.
