Abstract
The article deals with the symbols of the circle and square in architecture, which since ancient times they have been lined up with a compass and a square. The union of the circle and the square is the union of heaven and earth, spirit and body, and we also believe that this is the union of nomadic and agricultural cultures. These symbols are found in combinations: a circle in a square, a square in a circle, having a different symbolic meaning: in the first - the soul, closed in a temporary earthly body, the second symbolizes the guiding mind, supernatural structures and the clarity of enlightenment. The square in the сircle is the most powerful of the magical figures - says H.P. Blavatsky in her book “The Secret Doctrine”.
