The golden section in garden architecture
Černá, Barbora ; Buttry, Ivana (advisor) ; Med, Jakub (referee)
The bachelor thesis "The Golden Section in Landscape Gardening" is intended for all those from the general public who are interested in the topic. First, the thesis deals with aesthetics, aesthetic concepts and philosophy. It describes and explains the principles and patterns of composition in relation to landscape gardening. As the composition is a significant part of the thesis, it describes important terms related to the topic, such as proportionality, contrast, scale, etc. It explains the fundamental definitions of the golden section and defines it within algebra and geometry. It shows the relationship of the golden section to Fibonacci sequence. It introduces the history of the golden section from the oldest studies up to present. It deals with the occurrence of the golden section in nature, both in living organisms, and within the human body. It explains the use of the golden section in art, more specifically in the composition of the work of art (the location of important elements in the painting). Furthermore, the thesis deals with the golden section measurement method and includes a measurement tool together with instructions for making it. It describes in detail the historical development of the Renaissance garden, as the period of the greatest use of the golden section and subsequently describes its characteristic features. As Versailles gardens, which I was examining for the presence of the golden section, are important for the thesis, it includes an introduction to Renaissance in France, in particular the Versailles gardens. The last chapter deals with one of the aims of the thesis, which is a series of recommendations for the use of the golden section in the context of landscape gardening.
The text is supplemented with illustrative images and photographs.
