Harmonic Proportion and Form in Nature, Art and Architecture plus estimates of building costsA treatise on the laws governing proportional form in both nature and the arts and sciences, this well illustrated volume amply demonstrates how a design's geometrical construction can captivate both the eye and the mind. Flowers, shells, and other natural organisms appear here, along with artistic creations, in a mathematical study of the similarity of their constructive principles. These principles, in turn, are the fundamental elements by which
