[数学] Mathematical shapes in action

The Chandigarh Legislative Assembly building in India. French architect Le Corbusier used, you've guessed it, Fibonacci numbers to create interesting geometry



The GCHQ building in Cheltenham. The afore-mentioned torus



The Villa Rotonda, Vicenza, Italy, designed by Andrea Palladio. The proportions perfect whole number ratios like harmonics, giving rise to the phrase 'frozen music'



City Hall, headquarters of the Greater London Assembly. Not just a favourite hangout of Boris Johnson, but also a distorted sphere



Grande Arche de la Defense in Paris. Shadow of a 4D cube



La Geode in Paris. A huge silver sphere

Would you be more or less scared if you knew the Grand National rollercoaster at Pleasure Beach in Blackpool was a möbius strip?



The Frank Gehry Guggenheim museum in Bilbao. An example of Riemanian geometry


The Parthenon in Athens uses the golden ratio. To stunning effect



The Sage Music centre in Gateshead is made from 27 pieces of a torus



Favourite shape anyone? Egypt: pyramid
