Flora anciently exerted considerable influence on the development of our civilization.Moreover, often it is not only expressed in the fact that the herbs used as medicines.So, the beauty of the plant has always given inspiration to artists and sculptors.
But it is not just a banal admiration!For professional architects have long known that the beauty of the plants in the mathematical sense is expressed in almost all the works of the greatest architects of the past.
In most of the architectural ensembles of St. Petersburg clearly traced following the canons that were adopted in ancient Greece.
Moreover, a characteristic feature of this plant ornaments is that they do not show some sort of deeper meaning and overall emotional suggest that the architect put into its creation.
For flower - is not only the beauty of the plants in the usual sense, but tenderness, touching, oak shows willpower and resilience, and the image branches with buds and underlines the elegance of the ensemble demonstrates the revival of the life of a cold winter.
However, we have mentioned the Greeks were much larger pragmatists rather than the builders of Peter.Do you know anything about the so-called golden section?If not, you probably missed the lessons of geometry in school.
To understand how interconnected the beauty of the plants and the mathematical concept, let's talk a little bit about the psychology.It is known that certain objects and shapes we unconsciously draw, while the other hid a glance.
adequate explanation for this phenomenon is not so far, but even the ancient Greek mathematician brought a strict regularity.
turned out that any form, which is based on beauty, harmony and some proportion, immediately attracts the eye of man.This ratio is the golden ratio, which can be expressed mathematically by the formula: «a: = b b: c».
simple terms (as possible), it is the division of a segment into two parts, which are not equal to each other.And so the whole segment refers to the greatest part, as it relates to the lesser.
That's the beauty of the plant (which is confirmed by the photo) has given rise to unique Parthenon, which still continues to be the highest expression of aesthetics, functionality and excellence in all its splendor.
In 1983, the Bulgarian-born mathematician Tsvetan Tsekov pencil published calculations showing the presence of a second cross-sectional shape, which follows from the first.In order not to bore you with the details, for example, that the ratio in this case is 44: 56.
These figures biologists and mathematicians discovered by examining the ratio of the size of many flowers, trees and other natural objects.It is this - the same muse that gave inspiration to the greatest creators in the history of mankind.
Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rubens - they all knew that the amazing beauty of plants (there are photos in this article) is not a trivial literary cliche.It does exist, as though Nature is the genius creator, who created man in His own image and likeness.
