Combinations of Symmetries
Most architectural pieces contain more than
one type of symmetry. Some architectural pieces exhibit combinations
of symmetries that can be seen without the observer changing his
or her viewpoint. Others require the observer to change his or
her physical position by moving around or into the architectural
piece.
