The Golden Spiral or Fibonacci Spiral
The golden ratio was often used in the design of
Greek and Roman architecture.
Sacred geometry is geometry that is sacred to the
observer or discoverer. This meaning is sometimes described as being the language of the
God of the religion of the people who discovered or used it. Sacred geometry can be
described as attributing a religious or cultural value to the graphical representation of
the mathematical relationships and the design of the man-made objects that symbolize or
represent these mathematical relationships.
Making your first fibonacci
spiral: First get some graph paper, with a pencil draw 2 parallel lines 13 sqaures long.
One on top of the other, look at the picture below, the 2 lines are the top and bottom of
the rectangle. Next join the two lines' ends to make a rectangle. Ok, next you draw a line
at the eighth square to make a square 8 boxes long and eight boxes high. The box you
just made is box 8 below. Next in the upper right hand corner draw another square 5 boxes
long by 5 boxes high, that will be square number 5 in the picture below. Then you draw
another square 3 boxes by 3 boxes where the number 3 box is below. Next you draw a square
2 boxes by 2 boxes like the one below. Next 2 by 2, and next 1 by 1.
Then you draw your spiral which will look something like this.
