I find radial symmetry to be one of the most organic, pleasing formats for buildings and rooms. I have always thought it would be a good arrangement for a library, or somewhere that you wanted room for thought.
A building I found on campus that exhibits some kind of radial symmetry is an open area in the Student Center, where the Book Store is on the first floor. The base floor plane is round, and the walls center around a point, which is the axis of the stair case that winds up to the third floor.
(PICTURE TO COME LATER!!)
