"Chez Mondrian", now an emblem of avant-garde photography, shows how Kertész, using a vase, creates a formal harmony between geometric shapes, light and dark, flatness and the perspective created by the curved staircase in the background.
Such models can help highway designers to assess geometric features for speed harmony along a horizontal curve.
The second factor has the elaboration characteristics that are integrated with its geometric and figure ground relations and harmony of design elements.
Highway designers can use these findings in deciding appropriate curve radius and length for consistent geometric design with reasonable speed harmony along a horizontal curve.
Many other textiles untouched by west European influence, however, came from southeast Poland, Ukraine, and southern Russia; some are characterized by ancient textile motifs (such as simple stripes) and forceful colour harmonies, others by geometric designs resembling those of the Orient.
Appealing are the metric complexity of the steps, the high-tension energy of the movement, the varied ways in which men and women work together as equals, and the ways in which geometric patterns reflect the music's unresolved harmonies.
To quantify the geometric modifications between the two wear surfaces, a new concept, comparative surface harmony (CSH), is developed and a mating index, comparative surface harmony index (CSHI), is formulated to characterize the surface interlocking and wear evolution of the shearing interfaces formed at contact areas between the shoes and floors.
Perhaps these ritual associations originally inspired the development of this geometric knowledge, or perhaps it was the other way around: the beauty and harmony of the geometric discoveries were sacralized by integrating them into ritual.
