Rhythms and patterns
Rhythm is effectively a sequence of recurring elements in a predictable sequence. This first shot shows a rhythm in the arches, the buttresses and the small windows at the top.
Pattern is a sequence of recurring elements, not necessarily the same, in a more random sequence.
The difference between these two design feature is that with rhythm, the viewers eye will travel along the sequence of elements, whereas with a pattern, the eye tends to move about the picture more haphazardly, picking out each element as it goes.
