14) Curvilinear Shapes

In opposition to rectilinear shapes, curvilinear shapes are more natural looking with curves and less straight angles.  They appeal more irregular and free-form.

The Sydney Opera House has a very curvilinear design while the upper part of the building lacks many straight lines.
