ABSTRACT: If we had to select a type of geometry to visualize and describe an architectural space, considering the Euclidean geometry is the one that comes from the man’s chore, and the fractal one is related to Nature, we would incline towards a description utilizing known regular shapes. What probably has not been thought of yet, is that the shape to be analized could be an Euclidean one becoming its fractal opposite, in a visual-spatial context. In pro of the interdiscipline, whe work with an example based on an Edgar Allan Poe’s story: The Tomb of Ligeia.
