L'icosaedro è una figura composta da 20 facce, tutte uguali tra loro. L'icosaedro a cui Platone lega l'elemento dell'acqua è, però, composto da venti facce triangolari:

"[...] e poi all'acqua la forma meno mobile delle altre (icosaedro)"

Received for Christmas: a very visual depiction of proportional ratios in natural and man-made phenomena, from music and harmonics, to plants and animals, to Greek and Japanese architecture, to the human body, to fiction and poetry. If you’re at all familiar with Fibonacci, the golden section, Pacioli, or any exploration of math in nature, then this is all ground that has been tread, but to see it visualized in such a consistent manner is illuminating.

Marvel at the divine proportions of this capital A! This is from the book Divina proportione by Luca Pacioli, who applied the golden ratio to art and design, including typography. The woodcuts for this book were designed by Pacioli's friend, Leonardo da Vinci. ⠀ ⠀ Rare Vault NC745.A2 P3 ⠀ ⠀ #typetuesday #typographytuesday #design #art #typography #pacioli #davinci #rarebooks #specialcollections #iglibraries #librariesofinstagram #mizzou #ellislibrary #columbiamo (at Ellis Library)

Everyone throughout time: "Pacioli you fucking liar."

Librarians in 2006: "we found a copy of 'De ludo scacchorum' the oldest book on chess."

MythBusters in 2009: "you can dunk your hand it molten lead after dunking with cool water and not get burned."
