What if Being really is round? What if it happens, from a small, round, center - and returns there? You leave - enter the world and return - working your way over thresholds, through passages - all of the familiar turns to the centralized space in which you dwell in the world.

Beginnings, endings, the enclosure of the form. Pass through it. Be wrapped in it. Exist beyond it. Abstraction of things - the instrument that can be used to reach into their core. To find the consolidated elements - refined beyond the mundane - that placed in their constellations, their deliberate - intentional - & meaningfully crafted arrangements come to be a house - a hanok - a home. Place - woven from space.

Is that what it means to dwell? Is that the purpose of the dwelling-itself? Is the act of "gather(ing) being together in its center" the fundamental role of every house, hanok & home?
