Features: This book is a specialized work on the proportions of architecture. The author approaches the subject from a new perspective, starting with empiricism, and argues that the ancient yet compelling argument regarding architectural proportions is that nature is governed by mathematics, and the world is a harmonious and orderly creation. To integrate with it, everything we create must adhere to the same mathematical laws. Artistic masterpieces embody the laws of nature and originate from them. Nature is a comprehensible, orderly whole, and the human-made objects we place within it are extensions of nature, which should follow the same laws. This book provides a way to understand the world and its philosophical foundation for architects who need to broaden their philosophical perspectives, particularly for architecture students. It is highly theoretical and rich in content, offering excellent guidance and reference value for students and teachers in the field of architecture.
