Condizione: New.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The Parthenon and Other Greek Temples: Their Dynamic Symmetry' is a landmark study in the intersection of art, architecture, and mathematics. Written by Jay Hambidge, this work presents a meticulous analysis of the geometric proportions found in the most iconic structures of ancient Greece. Through detailed measurements and diagrams, Hambidge demonstrates his theory of dynamic symmetry-a system of proportion based on the principles of growth found in nature, such as the golden ratio.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. "The Parthenon and Other Greek Temples: Their Dynamic Symmetry" is a landmark study in the intersection of art, architecture, and mathematics. Written by Jay Hambidge, this work presents a meticulous analysis of the geometric proportions found in the most iconic structures of ancient Greece. Through detailed measurements and diagrams, Hambidge demonstrates his theory of dynamic symmetry-a system of proportion based on the principles of growth found in nature, such as the golden ratio.The book focuses primarily on the Parthenon, using it as a primary example of how Greek architects achieved unparalleled visual harmony and structural balance. By examining the dimensions of the temple's ground plan, columns, and entablature, the author reveals a complex underlying geometry that transcends simple linear measurements. Beyond the Parthenon, the work extends its investigation to other significant Greek temples, illustrating the consistency of these design principles across the classical period.Essential for architects, art historians, and mathematicians alike, this volume offers profound insights into the technical mastery of the ancient world. It remains a foundational text for understanding the aesthetic logic that defined classical beauty and continues to influence modern design and proportional theory.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
