Sacred geometry : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sacred geometry
Sacred geometry is the geometry used in the design and construction of religious structures such as churches, temples, mosques, religious monuments, altars, tabernacles; as well as for sacred spaces such as temenoi, sacred groves, village greens and holy wells, and the creation of religious art. In sacred geometry, symbolic and sacred meanings are ascribed to certain geometric shapes and certain geometric proportions, according to Paul Calter and others:〔(dartmouth.edu: Paul Calter, ''Polygons, Tilings, & Sacred Geometry'' )〕 ==As worldview and cosmology==
The belief that God created the universe according to a geometric plan has ancient origins. Plutarch attributed the belief to Plato, writing that "Plato said God geometrizes continually" (''Convivialium disputationum'', liber 8,2). In modern times the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss adapted this quote, saying "God arithmetizes".〔Cathérine Goldstein, Norbert Schappacher, Joachim Schwermer, ''The shaping of arithmetic'', p235. ()〕 As late as Johannes Kepler (1571–1630), a belief in the geometric underpinnings of the cosmos persisted among some scientists.
