The Beauty of Architectural Symmetry

The human mind has an innate ability to pick out patterns in the environment. It revels in finding symmetry in architecture and nature. Even in nature, consistent uniform shapes appeal to the eye. The Instagram account SymmetricalMonsters is responsible for serving the best photography, which showcases the beauty in architectural symmetry.

The photographer caters to the ancient ideal of beauty demonstrated in the Old World. The Greek and Roman empire, the Renaissance period and the Middle Eastern kingdom are heavily influenced by geometric and symmetrical designs.

These pictures have been taken across various locations - from crowded apartment complexes, underground stations, climbing escalators in shopping centers to tunnels, towering skyscrapers and traffic-clogged streets. The stunning skyscrapers and modern marvels subconsciously provide order and balance to the bustling of the city streets. 

I forgot how beautiful silence and empty streets can be.

When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump. Otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life and that I can’t do.

A Most Violent Year (2014), Dir. J.C. Chandor  (via wordsnquotes)

She was like a white rose in a garden of red; pure, innocent, and unique, while everyone else around her was the same.
