It's all in the pattern: Recognizing symmetry in architecture.
- Authors
Farenga, Stephen J.; Ness, Daniel
- Abstract
The article describes symmetry and discusses its various forms found in architectural structures. The word symmetry is known as a method of classifying objects on the basis of their physical properties. Symmetry can be classified into two parts that are point group symmetry, which refers to a design having one unique point that remains unchanged, and space group symmetry, which does not have a unique point. It has been stated that the analysis of symmetry offers a bridge to unify sciences, mathematics, humanities, and the arts. It has been suggested that students can identify the different forms of symmetry in the design of the structures. Architects and engineers know very well that symmetry plays an important role in construction.
