the construction kit makes the golden ratio, the epitome of harmonious structure, tangible. 16 building blocks with 7 different volumes, each have the proportions of approx. 1:1.618 and when put together form a cube. The long side of a rectangle is related to its broad side as the sum of the long and broad sides is related to the long side. the most important modern approach to the golden ratio was achieved by le corbusier, who, among other things, developed a mathematical ordering system based on the golden ratio and human measurements in the typeface le modulor 2 and implemented it in his buildings. the harmony continues in the color composition of the building blocks. it is no coincidence that when arranging the blocks you get the feeling that le corbusier is meeting piet mondrian: the golden ratio in space as a composition with red, yellow and blue.
