Abstract

Fractal geometry is considered one of the structural ‎patterns that ‎‏ ‏depends on the use and application of ‎generative and iterative designs on several levels, the most ‎prominent of which is self-similarity. It can be regarded as ‎one of the design movements that blends philosophy and ‎mathematics and offers the notion of a close relationship ‎between creative design and nature. Fractal geometry aim to ‎achieve creativity and development in interior design ‎through the use of repetitive and complex patterns such as ‎composition through repetition and similarity on several ‎levels, which allows designers to deviate from the norm and ‎create interior designs based on the use of fractal patterns. ‎by repeating patterns consistently on multiple levels that rely ‎on gradation and repetition in scales, gives the interior ‎spaces movement and rhythm to make them appear more ‎dynamic and adds diversity. In addition to the creation of ‎fractal designs, which have been used throughout history in ‎various Islamic architectural structures, interior spaces, and ‎furniture made of a various materials. ‎

The research discusses the concept of fractal geometry ‎and its most important features and characteristics, ‎which played a major role in the development of interior ‎design The research also deals with the beginning of the ‎emergence of fractal architecture inspired by nature and its ‎development throughout history, beginning with Gothic ‎churches and Islamic architectural structures. Furthermore, ‎there are additional design trends and styles that rely on ‎fractal designs, which are dynamic.
