Sacred Geometry shows that behind nature’s seeming disorder there are hidden structures and patterns of perfect proportion. These are apparent in many things from microscopic crystals to the way the petals are arranged on the head of a flower. Such hidden codes have been identified by observant thinkers in many cultures as evidence of the mind of God at work, giving it a sacred quality. Because of this, these geometrical concepts have often been incorporated into sacred buildings and devotional art. This book investigates the sacred properties of numbers and the hidden structures and patterns of perfect proportion. It unfolds the mathematical and geometrical principles that exist in nature including botanical, biological and geographic structures. It also examines the geometry of sacred sites, temples and churches and the geometry in art from the Renaissance period.
