Abstract :
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”-
Margaret Wolfe Hungerford. There is certainly more to
the statement above. Over centuries people have
pondered whether there is a rulebook for aesthetics. A
lot of mathematicians, Architects, Physicists have tried to
prove it in different ways. When we study design
principles, we know that proportion is something that
makes or mars a building. It plays an essential role in
determining how humane or colossal a building is. But
does it really? We shall find out by running tests on
several randomly selected buildings. We shall determine
how proportion theories given by several experts,
especially Alberti’s Proportion Theory in our case
mathematically proves the aptness of proportion theories
in relation to the aesthetics of the façade of built form.
