Radial symmetry refers to a design element where parts are arranged around a central point and the design is identical when rotated around that point. It is often used in religious architecture, where designs are decorated with radial symmetry centered around a half-sphere shape. Artists also employ radial symmetry to unify different elements in a harmonious composition, with parts spaced equally around a common center.
