The Duality of Geometry

 In our physical world there is nothing that is perfect. I personally don’t believe in perfection. It means the end to me. Perfection means there is no room for creativity, there is no room for movement, and one remains in the absolute stillness of perfection.

However even I have to agree, if perfection does exists in our chaotic world, it exists in form of geometry.

It is pure, it is perfect.

And yet, same could not be said for geometry in architecture. Geometry in architecture is based and developed out of the idea of transformation. For example, transformation of symmetry in design is seen to evolve over a period of time throughout the history of architecture. It has grown from a simple circle of the Stonehenge to the complex parametricism of the 21^st century. And that may not even be the end of it. When it comes to architecture, we use the perfection of geometry, often to convey imperfect ideas and the dichotomy of it becomes responsible for the dual nature of geometry, the imperfection in perfection.
