Abstract
This paper identifies various geometric concepts, principles and constructions which are of great value to design researchers and practitioners. Particular attention is focused on geometric symmetry as the basis of an analytical tool to examine designs in different cultural or historical contexts. Relevant empirical literature is identified. Illustrations of regularly repeating designs are presented; these result from the application of a system of pattern construction, based on taking components of certain regular polygons and applying various symmetry operations.
