Tod principle of architecture
The document discusses architectural principles including proportion and scale, focusing on the golden ratio and its application in both human proportions and architectural designs. It explains concepts such as symmetry, hierarchy, rhythm, datum, and transformation, providing historical examples to illustrate each principle. Notable architects like Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier are referenced to exemplify these principles in their works.

- 7. THE GOLDEN SPIRALAssume that rectangle ABCD is a Golden Rectangle. Hence, AD/AB =AE/ED. But, FE = AE, FE/ED= Phi. Hence, rectangle FCDE is a Golden Rectangle. We have two similar rectangles and so since Phi = AD/EF then BD/CE = Phi.
- 8. THE GOLDEN RATIOIN HUMAN BODY The first example of the golden ratio in the average human body is that when the distance between the navel and the foot is taken as 1 unit, the height of a human being is equivalent to 1.618. Some other golden proportions in the average human body are: The distance between the finger tip and the elbow / distance between the wrist and the elbow, The distance between the shoulder line and the top of the head / head length, The distance between the navel and the top of the head / the distance between the shoulder line and the top of the head, The distance between the navel and knee / distance between the knee and the end of the foot.

PRINCIPLE OF ARCHITECTUREAXIS SYMMETRY A Line established by two point in space about which form and spaces can be arranged in symmetrical and balanced manner The balanced distribution and arrangement of equivalent forms and spaces on opposite sides of dividing plane or about a center axis HIEARCHY The articulation of importance and significance of form or space by its size shape and placement relative to other forms and spaces of organization
