ROOT 5 RECTANGLE GARDEN
I have always been fascinated by mathematical proportioning systems as they relate to occupiable space: the Ken system in the arrangement of tatami mats in a Japanese tea room, Le Corbusier's Golden Section, and the many others we see in the construction of legendary paintings and sculptures. Here is a crude exploration of a garden based on a root five rectangle. The arcs mark the critical points as instructed by the math. Programmatically, the sedentary spaces are in the left side square. The middle panel is a space that might serve as a bowling green. The right-side square is a series of cutting gardens with ample spaces between for working and strolling.
