Good morning you beauties!
Last week I read National Geographic 'The Golden Ratio'. (i'm trying to read more physical books to give my eyes a rest from screens 👀)
The Golden Ratio is an excellent resource that explores the beauty of the mathematical concept known as the Golden Ratio. The book provides a detailed history and significance of the ratio, which has been discovered in various fields, including art, architecture, nature, and even the human body.
This book is not just for math enthusiasts 😴; it's for anyone who is curious about the world around them. It's a fascinating read that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the beauty and magic of mathematics. So whether you're an artist, architect, or just someone who appreciates the wonders of nature, "The Golden Ratio" is definitely a must-read.
Here are 5 key takeaways from the golden ratio:
- The golden ratio is a mathematical proportion that is found in many aspects of nature and art.
- It is often associated with beauty, harmony, and balance due to its pleasing aesthetic qualities.
- The golden ratio can be expressed as a number (approximately 1.618) or a geometric shape (the golden rectangle, for example).
- It has been used in design and architecture for centuries, and continues to be influential today.
- While some debate its actual significance, there is no denying the widespread cultural impact of the golden ratio.
So if you are looking into creative direction... maybe the answer is in mathematics.
I didn't think i'd ever hear myself say that...
Until next time!
