Abstract
Well-noted in nature for both its frequent appearance and its many variations, the spiral has inspired architectural forms for many centuries. The logarithmic spiral was adapted by the Greeks for the Ionic volute; many generations of architects developed geometrical constructions to approximate the curves of the spiral. A development on the theme of the spiral is the fan pattern, in which spiral segments are translated about the center of a circle. The superimposition of opposing fan patterns results in the rosette. The easily-constructed circular rosette is an ancient and beautiful pavement pattern, and can be varied to lay the base for many other motives.
