CONCLUSION

My illustrations demonstrate how the architects Kallicrates and Iktinos and the sculptor Phiedias designed their greatest work of art using a unifying geometry. The beautiful form and details of the Parthenon and its sculptures incorporate the proportions of this fractal Sacred Dynamic Symmetry in its architectural plan, elevations, and form, symbolizing the Human and Nature as microcosms of the Cosmos.

This body of work stands as a “Rosetta Stone” rediscovery of the long lost Canon of design and proportions used by the Greeks to design their architecture and art. This rediscovery may also be a key to an understanding of sacred architecture and art of other ancient cultures before, or contemporary with, the laying of the first stone of the Parthenon.
