Rhythm



Rhythm is the logical repetition of some characteristics in order to create patterns. In visual arts, is determined by a recurrence of physical characteristics like shape and dimension.

In some cases, uses of rhythm could have a great impact on the effects that buildings can produce. In order to create harmony or even to reflect power.



We can use the repetition of shapes as a good example of rhythm in architecture. The architect will use objects with similar contours so as to create a relationship between different objects like doors, windows and columns.

Another type of rhythm is the recurrence of dimensions, which works with the size of the elements to establish a pattern.
