Taj Mahal — grid, symmetry, light (3D)
About this app
The complex from OpenStreetMap with the planning grid after Koch: charbagh garden, water axis and reflecting pool, mausoleum by the river rather than in the middle of the garden. Axial view from the great gate with reflection, section with the hidden inner dome, sun across the day and year. The only asymmetry: Shah Jahan's cenotaph.
