We
are always asked about the proportion of component placement in
various
applications. For example, how big should a ceiling medallion be in
reference to
the chandelier, or how large should columns be.
There are
natural proportions that one should adhere to, however like all
design
projects it is also a matter of taste. Sometimes one looks at
a presentation
and says "I
just can't put my finger on what is wrong", well this is because they
have ignored
the natural order of 1/3 to 2/3 ratio. We will examine the natural
order of the
"Golden Rule" in the following article.
