The Secret Code, published by Taschen editions, is dedicated to the study of the Divine Proportion, a mathematical principle that runs through the history of art, nature, and science. Known as the golden ratio, golden section, or Phi, this harmonic relationship appears in architecture, painting, plant forms, and geometric constructions. The book traces its emergence and use through the centuries.
A principle at the heart of artistic and scientific traditions
The Divine Proportion does not owe its name to chance. Since Antiquity, it has been seen as a key to balance and organization of the visible world. Artists, architects, and thinkers have sought to apply it in their works, convinced that it expressed a fundamental harmony. The book shows how this proportion is found both in pure mathematics and in concrete achievements.
An illustrated work to understand the golden ratio
Richly illustrated, The Secret Code juxtaposes major works, explanatory diagrams, and natural examples to make this principle accessible and understandable. This edition offers a clear and documented synthesis, intended for readers eager to explore the role of the golden ratio in Western culture and beyond. A carefully crafted volume, designed to combine rigor and visual quality.
