Abstract

Any natural system can build its own logical form/ skeleton /foundations, this logical form can be abstracted in a shape of patterns. Even the most complex systems, their patterns can be abstracted, that because they are built upon an inner Order, besides, their Good design avoids unnecessary complications. However, the ability to recognize patterns cannot be perfect, or pure, or simple that is because the inner order depends on the balance between its contradicting forces which could lead to, somehow, random forms. It cannot be perfect but can crystallize a certain idea that resonates in the conscious mind of the observer. The ideas always are renewable and developing as long as there is a continuous emergence of scientific theories that examines the origin of forms and the cosmogenesis. Therefore, this paper is one of many that aim to discuss the concepts relating to the Pattern toward a new contemporary architectural methodology, which starts, in the first steps, with knowing how to discover the hidden patterns. This is a big challenge to architecture -as an artistic science or scientific art.
