Product description

Pre-cut cardboard kit for a compass with a third leg that divides the distance between the outer legs according to the golden ratio.

The Golden Compass was invented in 1893 by the doctor and painter Adalbert Goeringer and is an ingenious, practical tool for finding the Golden Ratio in art and nature and for taking it into account in craft and graphic work. This is made possible by the middle leg: it always divides the distance between the two outer legs according to the Golden Ratio.

The "golden ratio" refers to a specific division ratio of a line ( or an area, an angle, etc.) that is perceived by humans as particularly harmonious. To do this, a line is divided into two segments, a and b, such that the larger segment a is to the smaller segment b as the total line a + b is to the larger segment a.

This ratio has been known since ancient Greece and can be found not only in numerous works of art and architecture, but also in the proportions of the human body and in many plants.
