#675 TECHNIQUES: Circular tower technique

Today we're looking at an epic circular tower technique by Poul-Erik Borre

on Flickr. It does use a lot of parts, but the technique can be adapted to smaller scales, it just won't look quite as good as it does in his 'Water Tower' MOC: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dk_titan/42992802720/in/dateposted/



The construction relies on a few key parts; for the outer cylinder 1x1 headlight bricks are placed on their sides along with 1x1 studs (although these could be 1x1 cylinders to save parts). The 1x2 tiles are then attached to the headlight bricks, creating the masonry pattern. The cylinder is created by using a internal structure of plates that are angled by turntables, allowing it to be reinforced and stay strong no matter how large the scale is.

The circular tower technique is an architectural approach that features a round, vertical structure often used in castles, lighthouses, or modern buildings to optimize space and stability. This method enhances wind resistance and provides panoramic views, making it a popular choice in both historic and contemporary designs. Today, many historic towers are being revitalized using expert renovation services that respect the original craftsmanship while upgrading structural integrity and functionality. These services involve careful planning, modern engineering, and aesthetic restoration, allowing circular towers to stand strong as cultural landmarks and functional spaces in modern urban or rural landscapes.

The circular tower technique involves constructing round towers for improved wind resistance and structural stability, commonly used in barns and sheds. This method provides better interior airflow and efficient space utilization. For those interested in building durable structures using this approach, view site to explore quality shed kits that incorporate modern and traditional building techniques.
