This study approaches the quantification of architectural shape on the premise that the three primary forms of circle, triangle and square can be criteria of the composition of an abstract unit shape to describe an architectural shape.
Dec 19, 2020 · One can tease out these symmetric properties, understand and work with them, and in the act of design, create more of them. In a basic sense, this is what the act of design must do: create and shape symmetries, in effect weaving them together in a way that is most beneficial for human beings.

translational and rotational symmetry of shapes. Computer-aided design systems also create and manipulate geometric objects based on symmet-ric features of forms. Symmetrical forms such as spheres and cubes are used as basic elements to construct more complicated shapes. Commands for shape manipulation such as move, rotate, scale, off-

Symmetry is the arrangement and even distribution of forms and spaces on either side of a dividing line, plane, or axis. Symmetry in design pertains to the geometry of a structure– if its shape remains identical on the other side of the axis after flipping.
Sep 27, 2017 · According to Escher the rules of symmetry and harmonic balance are conceived, reproduced and broken building hidden meanings and introducing an additional degree of freedom: colour becomes the aesthetic key of altered symmetry .
