- Summary:
- Steve Humble examines how a cathedral like Durham was designed by following the master mason's use of practical geometry, symmetry, pattern, and proportions. Here Steve investigates the proportions in Durham Cathedral and discovers ratios that are very similar to the 'golden ratio'. Can you find examples of the 'golden ratio' in your school building or local church?
