OE GOLDENRATIO WINDOWS

The blue lines show the golden ratio in the distance from the top of first story to the top of the second story to the top of the third story.

The red lines show the golden ratio in the distance from the ground to top of first story to the top of the second story.

Perhaps its application to the image of the Notre Dame needs explanation: Its innate aesthetic appeal is likely due to its appearance in the human face and body. The golden ratio has unique mathematical properties unlike any other number, as well as unique geometric properties. While the properties of the golden ratio may not make it 'magical' or 'mystical', they go far beyond being simply a 'practical' compromise between square and too long. Most spirals in nature are equiangular or logarithmic, but that does not mean they have anything to do with the golden ratio. Re the post from Vincen1, it is true that the golden ratio is often claimed to exist where it does not. You can make ugly buildings with the golden ratio and beautiful building without. The same is done with all those plants that supposedly resemble the golden spiral.Īnd above all. Among those are irregular galaxies, cluster galaxies, barred spiral galaxy and then there are the spiral galaxies of which just a fraction resembles the golden spiral. There are an estimated 100bln galaxies in the observable universe.

If the windows don't fall within the right frame, they pick the door, and so on.Ī lot of the spirals found in nature do nót follow the golden ratio, even though it is claimed that they do, including the famed nautilus. Isn't it the top of a dome, then you can pick the top of the lantern on top of the dome. Arbitrary, because in every building can always an element be found to semi-align your rectangle with. Bad, because a lot of times the measurements don´t fit correctly.

Just look at the icture of the Notre Dame above ^^. A4 doesn't sounds very sexy right? Perhaps that's the reason why there are no websites devote too it.Ī lot analysis of the golden ratio in ancient buildings are bad and greatly arbitrary. And that has the advantage that a √2-rectangle can be cut in half with both halves still √2 by 1. That said, the same counts for which forms the basis for A4, A3, A. If you intuitively design a building that mustn't be too square and not too long it automatically falls somewhat in that range. It is also not superharmonious because of some divine plan, it looks harmonious because it is somewhat between square and long, therefore buildings do not look semi-square and also not narrow/long. Some people seem to consider it some kind of magic superharmonious division.įirst of all, in architecture it is a very practical kind of measurement, if you have a ground plan with the golden ratio, one (golden ratio) room can be followed by a big square room and the ground plan keeps the same (golden) proportions. The golden ratio is greatly overrated overmystified if you ask me.
