Golden Ratio in design and architecture

The art world has felt the influence of


the Golden Ratio for centuries. Also known as
the Golden Section or the Divine Proportion,
this mathematical principle is an expression of
the ratio of two sums whereby their ratio is
equal to the larger of the two quantities.
During the Renaissance, painter and draftsman
Leonardo Da Vinci used the proportions set
forth by the Golden Ratio to construct his
masterpieces. Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo,
Georges Seurat, and others appear to have
employed this technique in their artwork.
Purpose
The purpose of the golden ratio is to create a strong
visual through balance and proportion. The golden
ratio is simply a shape with a proportion of 1 to
1.618.
