geometric design
Shapes in arrangement
Geometric design refers to visual patterns and arrangements using shapes like circles, squares, triangles, and lines.
The term covers everything from Islamic tilework to Art Deco architecture to modern logos.
As an approach, geometric design emphasizes mathematical relationships, symmetry, and repetition over organic or naturalistic forms: The rug featured a bold geometric design.
