The Fibonacci numbers are Nature's numbering system. They appear everywhere in Nature, from the leaf arrangement in plants, to the pattern of the florets of a flower, the bracts of a pinecone, or the scales of a pineapple. The Fibonacci numbers are therefore applicable to the growth of every living thing, including a single cell, a grain of wheat, a hive of bees, and even all of mankind.

...i guess we will have to discuss Apophenia next...
Fascinating harmony in nature and human creativity.
ReplyDeleteGolden Section or ratio has been a recognized means of proportional order and harmony.
The Modulor is the proportioning system developed by Le Corbusier based on the Fibonacci series (1,1,2,3,5,8,13). He believed these proportions to be evident in the human body. The Fibonacci series is also the closest approximation in whole numbers to the Golden Section. The purpose of the Modulor was to "maintain the human scale everywhere". The entire building "Unite d'" was based on the Modulor proportioning system.

Le Corbusier suggested that the Modulor would give harmonious proportions to everything, from the sizes of cabinets and door handles to buildings and urban spaces. In a world with an increasing need for mass production, the Modulor was supposed to provide the model for standardization. Le Corbusier’s two books, Le Modulor (published in 1948) and Modulor II (1955), received very serious scholarly attention from architectural circles, and they continue to feature in any discussion of proportion.
