The Role of Fractals and Nature in World Architecture and its Impact on Today's Buildings

Euclidean geometry, full volumes of spheres and pyramids and cubes and cylinders are not the best way to show natural elements. Clouds, mountains, shorelines, and tree trunks are all in conflict with Euclidean volumes and are not smooth, but uneven, and bring this irregularity to small scales, which is one of the most important features of fractals. This means that fractal geometry, unlike Euclidean geometry, is a better way to explain and create phenomena like nature. The language by which this geometry is expressed is called algorithm, which can be converted into simple formulas and laws with compound objects. be translated and summarized. Fractal is derived from the Latin word fractus, which means an irregular broken and crushed stone. Fractals were first introduced by Dr. Mandelbrot during the theory he presented for the problems of the universe and in this theory he stated that the next universe is between 23.1-34.11 and all natural phenomena are fractals in the universe which are for We are unknown. This paper explores the following question; is fractal geometry confined by architects in designing skin and facades of building rather than its original vision of achieving complexity? That is achieved by discussing existing international architectural precedents in which designers used fractal geometry in skin design, regardless of the building type. Through analysis, the paper aims to show that the use of fractal geometry in skin design may actually have a relation with functions and spaces, environmental solutions and other design aspects and considerations.
