The divine proportion


In class we talked about the number phi and how it applies to things in everyday life. We related it to things such as the human body, the heart beat, and other things. Searching the internet i found this picture of the Parthenon. The Parthenon was one of the first buildings made using the concept of the number of the phi. It was an elegant and beatiful buiding when it was first completed. Although we marvel and are amazed by its beauty today, it must have be amazing in it's prime.
