The octave (2:1), perfect fifth (3:2), and perfect fourth (4:3) form the foundation of Western harmony - pure mathematical ratios.
The five orders of classical architecture embody mathematical perfection.
The oldest and most austere order. No base, simple capital, sturdy proportions (1:7 ratio). Represents strength and masculinity. Used in the Parthenon.
Leonardo imagined machines centuries ahead of their time.
