It is associated with the belief that a god is the geometer of the world.” (Wikipedia) It encompass the religious, philosophical, and spiritual beliefs that have sprung up around geometry in all cultures during the course of human history. The geometry used in the design and construction of religious structures, sacred spaces, art and cosmology is said to have its roots in nature and philosophy.
