The wheel is more than just a mechanical and technical invention, it is a strong spatial paradigm. This dissertation analyses its plastic and symbolic value to understand how it structures our relationship with the world around us. By exploring the fields of art, biology and sociology, the study demonstrates a variation in the circle: at times a tool for monitoring and self-discipline (panoptic), at other times a vector of freedom (rotating and nomadic architecture). By enhancing movement in construction method, \u201cthe wheel as a design engine\u201d challenges the rigidity of traditional architecture and advocates an approach where housing no longer seeks to immobilise space, but to integrate the perpetual movement of life smoothly.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/article>\n\n
