hey everyone,
I'm so glad that I've found this forum...It has been a few months since I've been acquainted with the world of Fractals.
As an architect and Phd candidate, I'm doing a research about the routs of fractals in the history of Architecture, worldwide.
I'll be thankful if any of you, provide me with any information about the relation between fractals and architecture.
Best Regards,
Fractopia

hello and welcome to the forums

concerning fractals and architecture, since the term fractals is relatively new, they did not call it like this, the simple methods like iterations or repetive patterns are in the history of architecture all around the world, they obviously used fractal techniques, for example the hindu temples from india

Thank you for your response,
Regarding your knowledge in Fractal software, Is there any software specifically for Fractal Architecture?
It will be a great help if you inform me about the suitable softwares in this field.

annother relation - while not strictly fractal - is the penrose tiling. It has an important property of fractals, the self similarity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling
Unfortunately the english wikipedia entry misses the relation to ealy ornaments in islamic architecture, especially the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girih_tiles and later derivatives.

below an ornament of the Darb-e-Imam shrine (1453) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darb-e_Imam besides a pure penrose tiling
