GEOMERTY IN ARCHITECTURE

Geometry has an impact on our day-to-day lives. Geometry is one of the core factors or principles of design. Everything around us is a measurement. Architecture is a domain that majorly deals with geometry and visuals. In the history of architecture, proportions and symmetry along with basic shapes and forms, serves as basic tools for architectural design. From the pyramids in Egypt to the new World Trade Centre in New York City, great architecture uses the same essential building blocks as our body and all living things. Geometry not only plays role in the designing of the building but also becomes a part of the aesthetics of the building. The relationship between architectural design and geometry starts with the notion of harmony. Geometry contributes to the process of composition & designing in architecture. Elements in design & their interrelation introduce composition. Geometry is the science describing structures & spaces. Geometry influences the visual & structural aspects of design. Composition in architecture begins with space developing. Geometric figures, forms and transformations build the material of architectural design. This research is validated through various case studies and research papers. In the following paper we will analyse the role of geometry in the architectural design processes through several examples along with history of architecture.
