Jin-Ho Park describes and demonstrates methods of analysis and synthesis in architectural composition, based on the algebraic
structure of the symmetry groups of a regular polygon. The Popenoe House by Rudolf Schindler is analyzed to show a unique
application of symmetry operations with regard to the spatial organization. A similar geometric order and symmetric technique
is applied to the generation of a new design.
