culus denotes a circular
opening in the centre of a
dome or in a wall. Originating in
Antiquity, it is a feature of Byzantine and Neoclassical architecture. It is also known as an
œil de boeuf from the French, or
simply a “bull’s-eye”
So, the eye was the seed giving
birth to those architectural element then, so why can’t it be for
watch in present time!
Here I take the Dome shape incorporating the oculus & rings
from the eye and further developing the plot for concept ideation.
