Architectural Folds (Cliff-like Ridges) Symbolism

In art, Architectural Folds (Cliff-like Ridges) names a motif where pleated, stratified, or buttress-like masses fuse the language of architecture with that of geology. Such forms convey monumentality and the passage of deep time, presenting nature as an edifice shaped by pressures, erosion, and load-bearing contours.
