Principles of Historic Architecture

Throughout Architecture , all building whether classical or contemporary from roman architecture , pyramids of Giza to modern building, the golden ratio can be seen throughout. The ratio generally takes the form of the golden rectangle – any shape that can be wholly divided into up into a square and a rectangle that, when combined, establishes a ratio, approximately equating to 1:1.61. With this ratio, these historic buildings have this pleasant look to them where its all perfectly planned out and all the proportions are accurate. By studying the golden ratio and examples of historic buildings I can use this idea within my own ideas to create older looking buildings and contrastthem.I can create this classical building with brand new concrete and contrast it with pops an colour and other contemporary sections to give it an different and elevated look.
