Dear Uluufuk Ulusan

The person that you can talk to would be Prof Kirti Trivedi from the
Industrial Design Centre in IIT Bombay (now Mumbai)

He has written several articles on fractal qualities of the design of Indian
temple architecture in numerous journals. One such link can be seen at this
Springer link to the Visual Computing Journal article <
http://www.springerlink.com/content/j5k40p11577t8620/> Unfortunately the
full text is available only for subscribers.

The other person that I can think of is Prof Haresh Lalvani of Pratt, New
York. He is an expert on morphology and design and he is in the Architecture
department at Pratt Institute. You can see his recent work at this link
below and then chase up his publications and references on the web if you
wish.
