THE SYMMETRY
The architecture was to express this concept through perfect symmetry, harmonious proportional relationships, and the translucent white marble facing which gives the purity of the geometrical and rational planning the desired unworldly appearance. The mausoleum is raised over an enriched version of the nine-fold plan favoured by the Mughals for tombs and garden pavilions.
A variant is used in the great gate. In the mausoleum the plan is expressed in perfect cross-axial symmetry, so that the building is focused on the central tomb chamber. And the inner organization is reflected on the facades, which present a perfectly balanced composition when seen from the extensions of the axes which generate the plan.
Bilateral symmetry dominated by a central accent has generally been recognized as an ordering principle of the architecture of rulers aiming at absolute power, as an expression of the ruling force which brings about balance and harmony, 'a striking symbol of the stratification of aristocratic society under centralized authority'. A symmetric grading down to the minutest ornamental detail, particularly striking is die-hierarchical use of colour. The only building in the whole complex entirely raced with white marble is the mausoleum. This hierarchic use of white marble and red sandstone is typical of imperial Mughal architecture !
Many designers will have to deal with aspects of all of the above; whether designing apparel, textiles, objects, graphics or printed material the ability to present information in a simple and straightforward way is important for a designer to engage with their collaborators and to effectively market their product to their client, designing something which is ergonomic also is important as that deals with how their product or design will physically relate to the body, they will also need to understand the limitations of their design tools as this will have the potential to inhibit the production or quality of the outcome, also a balanced understanding of visual literacy is key as this is important for a designer to effectively evaluate the material from which they draw upon in their research and design process.
They are quite common in most forms of art seems to be the best answer for your question :)
