The origin, development, and application of fractal geometry theory in architecture

Abstract
Fractal geometry plays a crucial role in the study of fractals, with wide-ranging applications and it is closely related to architectural design creation, notably in architecture. Fractals are becoming more prevalent in today’s society and can be used to describe a variety of extremely irregular items in the actual world. This article aims to provide an overview and analysis of the significant implications of fractal geometry in architecture, exploring its relationship with elements in nature, such as trees. By searching, organizing data, and elucidating examples, the article delves into the origin and basic background of fractal geometry. The use of fractal geometry in architecture demonstrates the perfect symbiosis between fractal and nature through analysis of TOD, the ancient gardens in Suzhou, and other practical applications. One notable fractal algorithm is the L-system, a modeling approach expressing fractal concepts, enabling parameterization and architectural design. Fractal geometry successfully expands possibilities for the harmonious coexistence of architecture and nature, embodying numerous natural features and human-centric ideas.
