Geometry played a significant role in art deco architecture by providing the basis for the clean lines, symmetry, and abstract patterns that characterize this style. Art deco architects drew inspiration from a variety of geometric shapes, such as circles, rectangles, triangles, and zigzags, which they incorporated into their designs to create a sense of harmony and balance. Geometry was often used to create decorative elements such as ornamental moldings, murals, and stained glass windows. Overall, geometry helped to establish the sleek and streamlined look that is synonymous with art deco architecture.
