THEORY & MATHEMATICSbeginner
Definition
The perimeter or outer boundary of a form, especially a circular or curved one. In architecture, circumference refers to the outer edge of a building, plaza, or enclosed space, and is often a key design consideration.
Example
The Pantheon in Rome (118 AD) has a perfectly circular plan with a defined circumference, creating a pure geometric form.
