Rectilineare

Rectilineare refers to a geometric property where all angles are right angles, meaning they measure exactly 90 degrees. This term is often used in the context of shapes and figures, particularly in geometry and architecture. A rectilinear shape is one whose sides are all perpendicular to each other, forming right angles at each corner. Examples of rectilinear shapes include squares, rectangles, and cubes. In architecture, rectilinear design is characterized by straight lines and right angles, often resulting in a clean, structured appearance. This style is prevalent in modernist architecture and urban planning, where it is used to create a sense of order and efficiency. The term "rectilinear" is derived from the Latin words "rectus," meaning right or straight, and "linea," meaning line.
