Sacred Geometry: Philosophy & Practice (Art and Imagination)

Sacred Geometry was a text for the New Chartres School sponsored by Wisdom University in Chartres, France July 3-9. The book illuminated most of the geometrically related information which we experienced hands-on in our class with Richard Henry, British Geometrist. Richard led in making multi-dimensional shapes from point to dodecahydron and beyond! These forms were described and attributed historically, illustrated and defined for construction in the book which is comprehensive for understanding, making and looking at geometry relationally. It is an essential asset in the study of Geometry. I love this book and will share it with friends new to its information. Lynne Z

I have been looking for a good book on this subject and this one does not disappoint one bit! The author goes through step by step from the simple concepts to the complex complete with many illustrations and even excercises so that you can experience the "magic" of geometry yourself. I could not imagine getting the same level of understanding from a book without all the diagrams to see the relationships. More of a workbook than a text book, but packed with information and history. I would rate this as an essential book for anyone's library who is interested in understanding religious symbols, architecture, mathematics, and the beauty of the creation we find ourselves in.

This is a newer edition with the same text and visuals inside but lacks the classic cover of earlier editions. This book is a helpful companion to exploring natural symbology and mathematic underpinnings of some of the foundational architecture and design work in classical humanities. Buy the older edition if you want this to show off, but this edition has the same interior text.

Love this book and it came in perfect condtion. No bent or torn pages and nothing written on pages either.

I purchased the book so I could do the exercises and become more conversant with the golden ratio. I had borrowed a copy from my local library and decided to buy my own copy.

Having become interested in Sacred Geometry, I came across this work book and feel it's beneficial to anyone trying to understand geometry on a higher level. If I had this book in High School or College for my geometry classes, I would have gotten A's. I gained deep understanding from the workbook's clear pictures and easy to understand examples from art, nature, architecture and numerology. Practicing sacred geometry has helped me understand the world we live in and find meaning everywhere.

Wow! This book is definitely an eye-opener and mind-blower that will probably cause a paradigm shift in the way you perceive the world and our universe. Robert Lawlor is a careful and tremendously insightful teacher with a very deep understanding of our reality.

Interesting resource on sacred geometry with examples from architecture and nature. The book also has a fair amount of mathematical equations along with the fine illustrations.

I have really enjoyed this book, very straightforward and very well explained. You will begin to notice sacred proportions very easily. Its like magic!

The magazine shaped (work)book gives a simple and logic explanation and good explanation of sacred geometry. It explains step by step and in an comprehensive way the geometry and the mathematical proportions of genesis and tranlates it into arquitectonical geometry in buildings. For those who are interested in a quick but profound understanding of sacred geometry, this is your book.

Take your time in read this book. It reveals a lot

黄金比や古代の教会などの装飾に使われている幾何学についての本です。 黄金比、フィボナッチ数というと人間が造った物というイメージがある人もいると思いますが、実は逆で自然界の大体における形状（ひまわりの種の配置、銀河の形状、人間の指の関節の比率、耳の形等々・・・）がこの比率の形状なので、作品もこの比率に基づいて造れば人間の目にも自然に見えて美しいというか、しっくりくるのかな・・と思う一冊。 趣味で木工をしていて全体のバランス取りに取り入れてみようかと購入しましたが、この本のお陰で生物学やその他の科学技術にも興味が沸きました。黄金比定規など自作して色々と楽しんでいます。

Wow, this just changed the way I see the world. Amazing book, go and read, re-read and re-read... Also a great source of inspiration for artists.
