| description | The Golden Section is a timeless system of Nature that has fascinated
and influenced many generations of artists, architects, mathematicians
and scientists. This paper researches the manifestation of this ubiquitous
system in many of Nature’s creations, in particular, plants, then rationalises
and translates these systems into mathematical terms.
The oeuvres of three well-known designers who incorporated the theory
of the Golden Section into their works, namely Le Corbusier, A.M.
Cassandre and Josef Muller Brockmann, were analysed in detail and
provided a deeper level of understanding in the creation of visual structure
and coherence in design. The study of these works also served as a valuable
source of inspiration as to how the primary research could be translated
into design terms. |
