Their proportions (the longest and the shortest length in their dimensions) were then calculated according to the principles of the golden ratio.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">Can you calculate harmony?<\/h2>\n<p>All of you mathematicians and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3seaseurope.com\/simona-kossak-polish-veterinarian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scientific brains<\/a>&nbsp;out there can feel victorious, as apparently \u2013 yes. Very much so. As much as those to whom the artistic and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3seaseurope.com\/paulava-republic-lithuania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">humanistic ideas<\/a>&nbsp;are closest to heart would like to argue that beauty cannot be measured, the rules of mathematics can be applied and describe every aspect of our lives. Harmony included.<\/p>\n<p>The golden ratio is equal to circa 1.618. Marked by the Greek alphabet letter&nbsp;<em>phi<\/em>, the proportion can be found all around us \u2013 also in nature (such as nautilus shells, pineapples, flower petals, branches, DNA, galaxies, and human face structure.)<\/p>\n<p>Calculating the golden ratio in the case of buildings follows a basic formula. Namely that if the longest and the shortest dimension divided by the longest dimension is equal to the longest dimension divided by the shortest dimension, then the object was built according to the golden ratio.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">Golden ratio in architecture<\/h2>\n<p>Done with the math!

It scored 75.9% on average (making it the 7th most beautiful city globally). And who can be crowned as the big winner?

Its impressive score of 78.7% on average was only 3.2 percent lower than Barcelona\u2019s, making it the fourth most beautiful city in the world, according to the ranking. And it has to be said that the differences in scores of the top three cities were also minimal.<\/p>\n<p>Third, on the global podium, Barcelona received 81.9% on average. Second, on the podium, Rome scored just 0.1 percent more, with the final result amounting to 82%. The most beautiful city, Venice, received 83.3% of the golden ratio on average. This means that Prague lost to the best by only 4.6 percent!<\/p>\n<p>Which city came in last? Beijing in China, with a modest 55.6% of golden ratio on average.<\/p>\n<p>Numbers aside, would you agree that human beings seem to be drawn to harmonious solutions that allow them to rest?
