The golden ratio is a mysterious number that surprisingly appears in science, physics, mathematics, as well as in nature. The number 1.618 seems to be a universal constant, and crops up whenever the subject is of beauty or elegance. Beautiful flowers and sea shells and also attractive people have a common number and that is 1.618 or $\varphi$ (phi). This paper does a study into the story of phi, and describes how the golden ratio is derived. Artists, architects and designers have employed the ratio into dimensioning their works of art to achieve visual appeal. Examples such as the Greek Parthenon of the Acropolis and paintings such as the Last Supper all use this magic number. An investigation was conducted among 50 people to test if looking at golden proportioning was actually appealing, or if it was just a type among overzealous enthusiasts. The results show that the golden ratio may actually be of some use.

우리는 본 연구에서 황금비의 역사, Markowsky의 황금비 판단 기준, 그리고 황금비에 대한 오해를 알아보았다. 쿠푸왕의 대 피라미드에는 황금비가 존재하지 않는다는 Markowsky의 주장에 반하여 필자는 황금비의 존재를 주장하였다. 초 중등 교과서와 수학사 관련 국내 출판 책자에서는 황금비의 예로 쿠푸왕의 대 피라미드와 파르테논 신전을 사용하고 있는데 이에 대한 잘못된 서술을 알아보고 황금비 지도의 대안으로 동적 조화 입장에서 현대 산업 디자인, 항공공학, 건축 디자인, 스크린 디자인 등의 예를 제시하였다. 또한, 기축시대가 우리나라 학교수학에 미친 영향을 탈레스와 황금비 중심으로 알아보았다.

자수정(Amethyst) 보석은 원적외선을 방출하여 온열 효과를 나타내고, 체내에서 신진대사를 촉진시키는 친환경 인테리어 재료로서 주목을 받고 있다. 본 논문은 세공 장식(Jeweling)의 가치를 높이는 보랏빛 자수정을 특징적 모티프로 응용하여, Design Model로 개발하고자 하였다. Rhino CAD의 Data에 생성된 유기적 입체 형상은 정밀하고 표면이 깨끗한 왁스(Wax) 적층 가공이 가능하였고, 'Golden Ratio'를 적용한 Brooch 및 Necklace 작품으로 제작, 완성하였다. 이러한 장신구를 비롯하는 장식품 가운데, 자수정 세공 장식의 Interior Jewel Modeling의 활용 사례를 제안하였으며, 본 논문의 연구 결과가 귀금속 제조업체의 생산성 향상에 일조할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to reveal concrete evidence on how aesthetic preference is applied in product design by countries. Since the 19th century, the proportion has been examined various times, and the conclusions consistently showed the strong preference for the golden ratio (1:1.618). However, previous studies are mainly focused on western products that were designed by western designers, so when the same experiment conducted for the first time in Asia with the question of 'Is the Asian subjects also likes the golden ratio?', the result clearly revealed that Korean subjects have a significant preference for the root ratio (1:1.414) and perfect square (1:1). It demonstrates that proportion preference might be different by countries, and it also influences on everyday products. Moreover, there is not enough evidence of Asian product proportions. For this reason, this study will strive to expand the knowledge on Asian aesthetic preference by focusing on Japanese automobiles that were designed and produced in Japan. 55 iconic Japanese automobiles were analyzed for proportion and compared with 50 iconic German automobiles. The result shows that Japanese automobiles have a shorter length of 7:10 (1:1.414) ratio than German automobiles with 13:23 (1:1.769) ratio. This result proves that there is the difference in preference for the proportion of Japan and Germany, and it has already influenced on automobile proportions. This result has a strong value that finding the most appropriate proportion of automotive design is a major issue in new product development, so this can be adapted to various fields of the design process where strong cultural value exists.
