The Impact of Symmetry on Visual Aesthetics in Architecture: A Case Study of Si-o-se-pol Bridge, Isfahan

Symmetry plays a fundamental role in shaping visual aesthetics in architecture, influencing human perception, spatial harmony, and cultural interpretation [۱][۲]. This study examines the impact of symmetry on the visual perception of the Si-o-se-pol Bridge in Isfahan, Iran, a historical monument renowned for its structural and aesthetic regularity. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining geometric analysis, photographic documentation, and user perception surveys. The findings reveal that the bridge's axial and repetitive symmetry not only enhances visual appeal but also fosters a sense of balance, rhythm, and cultural identity. The study proposes a framework linking geometric symmetry to perceptual and aesthetic experience, offering insights into heritage preservation and contemporary design applications.
