| Abstract | ||
| Within the phenomenology of nature's geometry and fractals, an ontological perspective informed by emerging cosmological sciences gives rise to diverse visual effects and introduces numerous possibilities in architectural applications. This paper presents a focus on how cosmic fractal patterns can contribute to designing buildings that reflect local cultural identities. The research investigates how universal geometric principles, specifically fractals and geometry, can be adapted in architectural design to reflect cultural significance and historical context. Through case study approach, this paper analyzes iconic structures of various buildings from different cultures and focus on a comparison between the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, and Diriyah Art Futures Center demonstrating how the incorporation of fractal and cosmic elements enhances the architectural experience while strengthening the connection between culture and identity. The findings suggest that integrating fractals and cosmic patterns in architectural design can foster a deeper sense of place, cultural continuity, and spiritual alignment, promoting a harmonious relationship between the built environment and the cosmos. | ||
