...Vitruvius, for example, argued that the symmetry necessary for designing temples and other buildings "must have an exact proportion worked out after the fashion of the members of a finely-shaped human body."'2 Fra Luca Pacioli (1445-1517) in De Divina Proportione (1509) also wrote about the symbolic... | |

Proportion consists in taking a fixed module, in each case, both for the parts of a building and for the whole, by which the method of symmetry is put into practice. For without symmetry and proportion no temple can have a regular plan ; that is, it must...
