Scott Huh DESMA 9 Event 3: Final Review Session

Introduction (Monday, 6/5)
The most interesting subject that interested me the most is the correlation between mathematics and art. The topic I am going to focus throughout my paper is the golden ratio, which is incorporated in variety forms of art to enhance their aesthetic values. I am currently pursuing in the structural engineering and construction industry. These two fields, alongside architecture, are responsible for designing buildings, bridges, and many other structures. The golden ratio is often used in the design process to display a harmonious configuration of proportionality in structural elements.

Background/First Body Paragraph (Tuesday, 6/6)
-Briefly describe the golden ratio.
-Present historical examples of famous structures that incorporated the golden ratio. These examples include:
  • The Great Pyramid of Giza
  • The Parthenon
  • Notre Dame
Current State/Second Body Paragraph (Wednesday, 6/7)
-Golden Ratio in contemporary architecture
  • Le Corbusier 
  • Bernard Tschumi
  • Zaha Hadid
Future/Third Body Paragraph (Thursday, 6/8)
-Describe the future off the golden ratio in structures 
  • Possibly a solution to today's deteriorating infrastructure? (bridges, highways, etc.)
-Possibly go to office hour

Conclusion (Friday, 6/9)
-Summarize everything

Finalization (Saturday, 6/10)
-Review, peer review with friends
-Turn in

Most of you have probably heard the phrase, “trust me I’m an engineer.” When people hear that I am a civil engineering major, they assume that I can “fix” things solely because I am an engineer. My parents always ask me to fix their television set or the microwave, but I do not know how. Whether or not I know how to fix these things, I need to see directions and diagrams in order to understand the problem. This exemplifies that without one culture, the other cannot exist and vice versa.                                        ☝  The divide between north and south campus: stairs In “Toward a Third Culture: Being In Between” Vesna states that the two cultures refers to a divide between humanities and sciences.
