Episode Synopsis

Architecture and Music - two of the most powerful art forms on the planet (and my two favorite!) are linked through their use of elemental proportion systems.   According to Goethe, “Music is liquid architecture and Architecture is frozen music."  We'll explore how both art forms are constructed and touch on the theory and scientific discoveries behind this relationship.   The incredible Brains behind these Theories: Pythagoras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras Leon Battista Alberti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Battista_Alberti Goethe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe Palladio's proportions for rooms: https://www.aboutscotland.com/harmony/prop3.html   Simple article about the relationship between Math and Music: https://www.unyp.cz/news/music-and-mathematics-pythagorean-perspective/#:~:text=Pythagoras%20observed%20several%20ratios%20of,fifth%2C%20seven%20semitones%20apart).   Proportions in Architecture: https://www.house-design-coffee.com/proportions.html https://ftanda.co.uk/thoughts/proportions-in-architecture-and-music/
