The Golden Ratio in Art and Architecture
- اقرأ بالعربي -
When we talk about beauty in art and architecture, the "Golden Ratio" stands out as one of the fundamental concepts utilized by artists and engineers throughout history. The Golden Ratio is known as a mathematical proportion that reflects natural balance and exceptional beauty. It has been employed in constructing magnificent structures, from the pyramids to cathedrals, and even in famous artworks like the "Mona Lisa."
Architect Todd Reisz, author of the book "Showpiece City: How Architecture Made Dubai," says.
"You always feel that Dubai carries one big sign that says: Please excuse the mess, we're building something bigger... Dubai is not a city that emerged from the sands; it is a city that emerged because of people... People who made decisions in their lives to contribute to the future of this city in some way."
In the city of Dubai, we see a modern embodiment of the Golden Ratio, not only in the design of contemporary buildings but also in how heritage is blended with modernity. This city, which has become a global hub of cultural and architectural diversity, reflects the beauty of architecture in an extraordinary way.
If we look at some of Dubai's famous landmarks, such as the Burj Khalifa, we find that the Golden Ratio played a role in its design, where the perfect balance between its height and overall shape is evident. Meanwhile, in the "Historic District," traditional architecture, based on harmonious proportions and dimensions, integrates seamlessly with the city's modern architecture.
In the context of the TEDxJumeirahBeachPark event, the concept of "Beauty in Diversity" was highlighted, exploring how the Golden Ratio is applied in architectural designs that reflect Dubai's rich cultural diversity. Through lectures and workshops, it was emphasized that the Golden Ratio is not merely a mathematical tool but a symbol of communication between cultures and architecture.
Dubai is a living example of how to achieve a balance between innovation and heritage preservation. This balance, which can be observed in every corner of the city from its towering skyscrapers to its historic alleys enhances its beauty and makes it a global destination worth exploring.
In the end, Dubai shows us that beauty does not lie solely in similarity but in diversity and in the ability to create harmony between the old and the new, between East and West, and between humans and nature.
