Pattern, as the logic of assembly or a surface treatment which is associated with repetition and differentiation, provides a wide range of possibilities in various fields and aspects of design. Application of pattern in design can be achieved by simple repetition of identical elements, or it can represent a more sophisticated logic or relationship among various components.
Implementation of pattern in contemporary built environments and particularly architecture of Iran is spreading and the practice shows a
pervasive tendency in this field. The possibility of absorbing a variety of materials, sensibilities, performance requirements, environmental factors, geometries and kinetic forces makes patterns as an integrated aesthetic whole which represents cultural, intellectual and technological features within this synthetic activity.
