What is more interesting about this reading part, is that the writer doesn’t give us just boring theoretical definitions but he attracts us with making it like we are reading a novel. It all started with how Pythagoras linked the pleasing sounds of the hammers with ratio. Even if it is just a legend it is so good to be true. Then the Greeks connected it with the mathematical ratios which consequently are linked with architecture too, and architecture was also called as a frozen music.
However, music wasn’t the only source of bringing beautiful ratios. We can mention many other relations focused on scale and proportions. According to scale where we compare something with the standard size (our bodies) we subdivide it into: visual scale (visual judging), hierarchical scale (difference in importance), distorted scale (create abnormal effect) and the most important human scale (dimensions from human body). Furthermore, we can mention the Golden Section, which takes an important role in many buildings. But this doesn’t mean that the dimensions which aren’t determined by columns, golden sections, or any other “beautiful” proportions, are wrong. We also have the unit of bed for hospitals, etc.
In other words, even if we rely on the same proportions and scales it is wrong to believe that they can be experienced in the same way.
