Designing with Proportions

Throughout history all great architects used different proportioning systems, lending beauty and elegance to their designs: Musical intervals, Root proportions, Vesica Pisces, Golden section and the Cubit Measure. Life can become a lot more interesting than a grid!  

As there is lawfulness in musical intervals, there is lawfulness in the proportions of beautiful buildings. Refined proportions are not random. Without a deeper understanding it’s guessing. You can significantly enhance your designs using the principles of proportioning.

This 4-week online course will combine mathematical principles and exercises to enhance your design process and tune your intuition when it comes to aesthetics.

We will be working with a range of proportioning systems: Cubit, Fractals, Musical Proportions, Root Proportions, Golden Section and more. It’s different from any other course you’ve done. It’s mentally engaging, creative, out of the box, and you’ll be making models, working on real projects, sharing with fellow designers and taking part in open discussions.

The Cape Institute for Architecture has assessed and validated this Category One CPD Activity. This course carries 3.0 CPD credits.
