You are required to first read article 14 (posted on Blackboard) by R. Padovan
entitled ?The Golden Section and the Golden Module.? This will provide you with a primer into the
subject of this exercise. The essay you will write should take the form of an inquiry into the nature of
proportion as a mathematical and perceptual phenomenon within architecture. You may discuss
proportion either in broader terms such as how it has been a concern of a particular building society
(e.g. the Greeks) in the past, or in more specific terms as it relates to individual structures (e.g.
Chartres Cathedral); or how it has been manifested in the work of a specific architect (e.g. Palladio).
You may also expound on a particular proportioning system such as The Modulo.
Besides the first reference, it also requires to make reference to either of the following ones.
Allen & Moore Dimensions: Space, Shape & Scale in Architecture
Elam, Kimberly Geometry of Design
Hemenway, Priya, Divine Proportion: Phi in Art, Nature and Science
Huntley, H.E., The Divine Proportion
Lawlor, Robert, Sacred Geometry: Philosophy and Practice
Livio, Mario, The Golden Ratio
Padovan, Richard, Proportion: Philosophy Science and Architecture
Skinner, Stephen, Sacred Geometry: Deciphering the Code
The principal goal of this exercise is to have you make a directed inquiry into the subject
of proportion and its relationship to architecture. Doing this will broaden your knowledge of the
subject, aid you in understanding related themes encountered in the lectures, and provide you with
insights that may aid you in your analysis project.
