Geometry plays a central role in architecture; contributes to the development of architecture by helping design, construct, analyze and evaluate building forms. Tesselations created with geometric shapes also support design alternatives by using them in the architectural production process. Until today, it is possible to find tessellation patterns on the facades of buildings and load-bearing structure designs in today's architectural environment, as it is used in floor coverings, wall and ceiling decorations, ornaments and landscape designs. From this point of view, in this study, different tessellation patterns in load-bearing system designs are discussed. In particular, it is aimed to analyze the situation through symbolic architectural structures that aim to pass a long span with different tessellation configurations. In the field study, parameters in the understanding of design and application were analyzed depending on the tessellation patterns, construction materials and the span passed in different structures with a long span using the tracking technique and reviewed comparative inferences. At this point, pattern-form, pattern-structure type, structure type-material and material-span properties were examined; the effects of structures on chronological development were observed. As a result, it has been observed that complex tessellation patterns obtained with more than one geometrical form are reflected in mathematical models with the advancement of technology. Anticipating that the usage rates will increase in the future, this study aims to raise awareness about the importance of geometry in load-bearing systems and the use of tessellation configurations.
