  1. Geometry Golden proportions in the Bulgarian architecture

  2. “Golden section” from ancient times until today expresses the relationship between mathematic and architecture. It is known as the“golden proportion,golden rationordivine proportion” . The golden section is a line segment divided according to the golden ratio: The total length a + b is to the length of the longer segment a as the length of a is to the length of the shorter segment b.

  3. Mathematical definition Golden section (A+B)/A = A/B Denoted with the Bulgarian letter: “Ф” or Greek:φ(phi) 1 + √ 5 ¯¯¯¯¯¯ φ = ≈ 1,618033…… 2

  4. Golden section is not only a mathematical concept, but is a symbol of beauty, harmony and perfection in art, science and nature. The term "golden section" was coined by Leonardo da Vinci as a proportion of "perfect human body."

  5. “The perfect human body”

  6. Golden section was known to the Egyptians and the Greeks in antiquity. The notion of harmony and respect is in the basis of philosophical ideas of Pythagoras. Egyptian pyramids and the Parthenon are an example of the use of proportion " φ" in architecture.

  7. “Golden Section” in architecture Golden ratio is found in many of the most famous works of art. It has been used in the Bulgarian construction and during the building of Bulgarian churches.
