ab: Summary: The deployment of fractal principles in art and architecture seems
    to be a phenomenon of all times, and is in no way restricted to the
    period after the systematic mathematical understanding and description
    of fractals from the 1970s onwards. Nowadays, computer-generated
    fractal art, and the software to generate it, are widely available on
    the Internet. Fractal principles are also at work in more
    “traditional" arts or crafts, such as some Dalì paintings, mandalas,
    mosaics, floor decorations, and so on. This paper presents some of the
    architectural appropriations of fractal geometry. The concluding
    sections argue that fractal architecture is in a sense “good" for us.
