Secrets of Leonardo da Vinci's Sacred Geometry

Leonardo used ‘Sacred Geometry’ as an underlying organizational principle in art, engineering, and architecture. The secretive tradition of sacred geometry centers on number, harmony, geometry, and cosmology. It spans back through the mists of time to Egyptian, Babylonian, Indian, Greek, and Roman civilizations. It is evident in the stone circles of Stonehenge, and Greek and Roman Temples through the ancient world.
Leonardo, used geometry in the design process. But unlike modern geometry, there was no clear distinction between pure geometry, harmonics, and astrology. These concepts at the time were interrelated and were called the ‘Music of the Spheres’ as artists and architects tried to incorporate harmonic proportions of the cosmos into works of art and architecture.
To understand Leonardo, we must understand sacred geometry, and how he used it in his work. In this video we will give a glimpse and insight into Leonardo’s secrets of sacred geometry.

So glad I found you! Concerning music, I think the frequency for tuning music and orchestras has changed over time. When played in buildings at different tuned pitches this has to impact human bodies. Other than keeping people alive does modern architecture examine the impact of sound frequencies on people?

[@rogerconnolly3688]

There is no N in Vitruvius

[@JK-jl1bf]

I noticed that too, like through the whole video. I put the closed caption on just to make sure I wasn’t hearing this completely wrong, but yeah there’s no “n” there. Let’s be mindful of how words might sound and actually how they are spelled. Although a great presentation, that part was hard to listen to.

[@kerryburns6041]

Thank you for a very worthwhile video, sacred geometry is also present in Nature, especially regarding the Fibonacci series. Very interested that you said quantum science now thinks consciousness creates reality (hope I got that right ...). I take the metaphysical approach which is unscientific and often derided, but along with Max Planck I think it more likely that consciousness creates matter rather than coming from it, like a genie from a bottle. How could inert chemicals create consciousness ? And yet that supposition supports the scientific world, bar a few mavericks. As an architectural blacksmith in Yorkshire, I was aware of the visual attraction of Fibonacci proportions, and their prevalence in sacred architecture, which led me into dowsing and the understanding that church and cathedral architecture is a reflection above, of the Earth energies below. It gets even more interesting the deeper you go ...

[@lightfeatherart2831]

Great job, bravo! Two things: 1) You mentioned that the icosahedron is made of isosceles triangles. They are equilateral. 2) Not many folks, save actual geometers, payed close enough to metatron’s cube to realize that two forms are incorrectly depicted in them: Icosahedron and Dodecahedron. They is because they are phi forms and must be arrived at via a different way via straight edge and compass. I construct polyhedra with wood and if you hold them in your hand and look at metatron’s cube renditions of those forms, they are warped, or corseted in back and flat in front. I recommend trying it. Tetrahedrons, cubes and octahedrons are accurately found in MC.

[@robertsarchitecture]

Yes. Everything you say is true. The way to draw the solids inside Metatron's cube is using vanishing points so the object looks like they are receding in space. This means the angles are not quite correct but follow the lines of the vanishing point. I think you are referring to M.C. Escher.? The book "M.C. Escher Kaleidocycles" is really amazing. If I do another video on sacred geometry I'll definitely show Escher's work.

[@lightfeatherart2831]

@@robertsarchitecture I could see how it could be arrived via vanishing points, which omits the MC situation. George leoniak of the knewgeometry channel arrives at the phi forms using the MC template in a different way. He also creates the two solids beginning with golden circles (not MC). Escher’s work is so cool. I did mean Drunvalo Melchizadek… popularizing Metatron’s cube with the incorrect forms 40 years ago. Folks like da Vinci didn’t arrive at the phi forms using MC. A beautiful pattern it is… but all the platonics arriving from face centered packing within that pattern, they are not. Thanks again!

Can you elaborate on the relationship of western geometry to sangaku, Japanese sacred geometry? I used the latter to structure a painting inspired by Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Fascinating!

Sorry, I'm not an expert on Japanese geometry, so I can't talk to sangaku. I know the Japanese artist Hokusai used harmonic proportions in his work. Maybe I'll include an analysis of his art in a future video. Thanks!

I use Epidemic Sound. The song is called "The Mole" by Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen.

[@OmniBui]

21:00 admittedly i think of sacred geometry as a little too 'woo-woo' for me, but the dodecagon (12-gon) can also be used for the western music's 12TET. it actually really helps with visualizing music theory

[@FranzJrob]

Its a matter of fact, it can’t be woo woo for anyone once you understand

@@FranzJrobidk depends on your personal philosophy of maths, and how you define our interactions in Euclidean space, and like so many more things. i feel like it's better viewed as poetic maths. it does really help in a pedagogical sense

[@mycool4374]

Amazing, thankyou for this video. My question, is if you make a cube of the flower of life, and take all of the negative space from each and make a 3d object then would that not be the visual representation of the seed of life? hidden from most.

[@robertsarchitecture]

One of the ideas I had for this video was to take the seed of life and model it three dimensionally on the computer. It would look like spheres inside of spheres. From this other shapes could be made. It would look like the cymatic wave patterns created by sound on sand or water, but in three dimensions. Very cool stuff to experiment with...

For those who are believers, sacred is a good way to go. For non believers it's just more mindbending exercises. Most of these are baits on hooks to lure any empty mind.

[@timwalling3101]

what is amazing is the double extra secrets that are so secret no one can say them out loud because it is totally double extra extra secret

[@timothyvillars7854]

This video needs to adjust the information on the 5 platonic solids in the metatrons cube diagram. Only the three simpler shapes accurately emerge from the hexagonal diagram. The icosahedron and dodecahedron require a decagon diagram, or a golden hexagon, to accurately depict their dimensions on a flat plane.

[@robertsarchitecture]

Yes, that is correct. I was going to draw the platonic solids in the diagram to show how they could be constructed, but ran out of time. Maybe for a future video I'll show how they can be constructed.
