This study examines the impact of fractal dimensions in jaali patterns on view clarity, focusing on the solar screens of Sarkhej Roza, Ahmedabad. By combining fractal mathematics with traditional Indian architectural elements, the research identifies patterns that balance aesthetic appeal and functional performance. Using documented jaali patterns, fractal dimensions (1.1, 1.3, 1.7, 1.9) were analyzed and tested in a controlled office setup. Results show that fractal dimensions between 1.3 and 1.7 optimize clarity and visual engagement, with D = 1.7 achieving the highest visibility rates. The study emphasizes the potential of fractal-inspired designs for modern façades, enhancing privacy, aesthetics, and occupant well-being.
