The perfection of symmetrical architecture
Symmetry is one of those notions that we understand easier to intuit than to discover or understand rigorously. We take less time to observe the symmetry of the wings of a butterfly than it takes to say "a symmetry operation is a mathematical transformation that gives rise to an identical figure to the original or a mirror copy of it"
"Beauty is closely linked with symmetry" (Weyl)
Therefore, symmetry is defined as the arrangement of the different parts of a subject in an orderly and corresponding way. Symmetry assumes balance, and according to the consultation from RAE, theexact correspondence in shape, size and position of the parts of a whole.

The sharp eye of the photographer has many times moved us almost to symmetrical perfection, leaving us with our mouths open. In this case we present a young photographer, Mohammad Reza, only 23 years old and of course with a great future in the world of architectural imaging.
A student of physics and hopelessly passionate about architecture takes us almost to an imaginary world where the mosques of his country come to life in a symmetrical perfection that many architects throughout their lives have wanted to show the observer.
Impressive photographs that some have been perfected with programs to improve the quality of online photos that use advanced techniques.
The artist has tried to portray the maximum possible surface of a building by combining panoramic with wide-angle lenses. Light and color intermingle, highlighting all the splendor of the mosques.
On the other hand, in order to understand the relationship between architecture and symmetry We wanted to add this visual and interactive document in order to better understand the origins and have a global vision. Document of Fernando Barbosa.
