What interested me most about class today was the topic of Harmonious Buildings. It makes complete sense that instruments would be created in harmonious proportions but I never thought of that being applied to buildings. Room sizes and the shapes of buildings are created with an almost musical thought process. One question asked stuck out to me; “Are there rules for the way things work for proportions?” While of course there are physical rules where if things aren’t a certain way the building will fall. I don’t believe there are rules for the way things should be made. Architecture has become an art form and the fact that a crucial idea music has been applied to the physical art is amazing.
