Symmetry is an exact duplicate of something, in the
opposite direction. The picture below provides you with an excellent
example of two stairs that are symmetrical. Architects have been using
symmetry for years, when designing the interior and exterior of
buildings.

Looking For Building Symmetry
The next time you're standing outside of a large building, see if you
can find any building components on the left side of the building that
are also on the right side of the building. It's not uncommon to find
pillars, columns or posts on the outside of the building that are
exactly the same.
What about a kitchen? Do you have any cabinet doors that are exactly the
same, except for one opens in one direction and the other one opens in
another? Two doors on the outside of a home that are used as the main
entrance to a building, could also be symmetrical.
The list goes on and on, bathrooms, bedrooms, closets, walls, lights,
plumbing fixtures, cabinets, flooring and doors. You definitely don't
need to walk very far in most homes to find something that falls into
the category of symmetry.
