Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome Why Are Data-Viz Designers So Obsessed With Circles? In 1726, Filippo Juvarra put the finishing touches on the dome of the Basilica of Superga, an intricately designed church in Turin, Italy. The artist painted the interior roof of the building with a kaleidoscopic pattern that when paired with the dome’s ring of windows creates the effect of ornate, concentric circles. Nearly 300 years later, in the French town of Cessy, engineers finished building the Compact Muon Solenoid, a massive particle detector that, when viewed in cross-section, bears a striking resemblance to Juvarra’s circular basilica dome. “These things look so similar, and yet they’re separated by 300 years,” says Manuel Lima. In his new book, Lima attempts to find out. Lima began thinking about the book in 2011 after he was asked a confounding question during a presentation he was giving on Visual Complexity. From a psychological perspective, the circle represents happiness, unity, perfection, and wholeness.
