in New York and more. Each of these examples are unique in their shapes and sizes, but what they have in common is that they all follow the golden ratio and are composed of Platonic solids. What are Platonic solids you may ask? They are the five perfect shapes that make up the foundation of everything tangible. The Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Icosahedron, Cube, and Dodecahedron. What makes them “perfect” is that the number of sides that comprises each face, is the same number of faces that construct the polyhedron. Take for example a cube, which consists of four squares and each of those squares is made up of four sides. ART One of the most famous examples of sacred geometry in art is Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. A beautiful epitome of the ancient understanding of symmetry in man and nature is best explained by Leonardo himself; “For the human body is so designed by nature that the face, from the chin to the top of the forehead and the lowest roots of the hair, is a tenth part of the whole height.” He continues his explanation in deeper and incredible detail, and to this day this remains my favorite explanation of how sacred geometry design and art can also be traced to the human body. From our minds then come all art created for personal and mass
actually uses art to mirror the mathematical principles found in nature and through research can be traced back to early Egyptian cultures. A recommended book on the subject that inspired my fascination and career in sacred geometry design is ‘The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life’ by Drunvalo Melchizedek. MUSIC In many instances geometric congruencies are as obvious as the direct relation of a spiral galaxy to a nautilus shell. As most of our readers may guess, Sacred Geometry actually goes beyond what we can see and behold. It also makes up the many laws of music. One example being the Pythagorean scale of harmonic fifths, which is a musical theory coined by Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagorus. Upon observing that dividing a string in half it is realized that it would double its pitch, aka, double its “Octave”. This discovery was a stepping stone for furthering our understanding of the numerical ratios of vibration. Ratios that continue to influence music to this day.
