Under Siege: The Golden Mean in Architecture
Abstract. Michael Ostwald briefly describes the Golden Mean and its history before examining the stance taken by a number of recent authors investigating the Golden Mean in architecture. He addresses the theories of Husserl, Derrida and Ingraham, who separately affirm that tacit assumptions about the relationship between geometric forms and other forms – say geometry and architecture – must be constantly questioned if they are to retain any validity.
