Fig. 1

Types of fractals: fractals generated with repetitive operations. According to Lorenz (2003), these fractals are based on the relationship between mathematics and nature, in which the basic form is duplicating due to change in scale and rotation.

Glass House of Mies van der Rohe (on getting closer to the building, fewer lines are visible. The information decreases by the changes in the scale; Lorenz 2003).
