Similarity Principle. Man is the Measure of All Things
Abstract
Architects use various systems of proportion as an instrument for harmony achievement. Although these systems are significantly differ from each other, the idea of the architectural object similarity to a living organism is their genetic origin. In Antique Greece, the attempts to generalize the long-lasting observations and the human interest to his own functionality led to positive results in creating invaluable works of art and engineering including the architectural order. Antique Greeks gave a great lesson to future generations of architects demonstrating the possibility of creating functional and wonderful things by the means of their behavior similar to that of man.
