 sacred geometry |
The thinkers of ancient Egypt, Greece and India recognized that
numbers governed much of what they saw in their world and hence provided an
approach to its divine creator. In his book sacred
geometry Robert Lawlor explains the system that determines the dimension
and form of both man-made and natural structures, from gothic cathedrals to
flowers, from music to the human body. Involving the reader in practical
experiments, in 9 workbooks the author leads from simple principles to a grasp
of the logarithmic spiral, the Golden Proportion, the squaring of the circle
and other ubiquitous ratios and proportions.
The 9 workbooks are listed
here. Some parts are illustrated with interactive geometry. |
