Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Golden ratio" in English language version.
And the same applies in architecture, to the rectangles representing these and other ratios (e.g., the 'golden cut'). The sole value of these ratios is that they are intellectually fruitful and suggest the rhythms of modular design.
Although at the time of the discovery of quasicrystals the theory of quasiperiodic functions had been known for nearly sixty years, it was the mathematics of aperiodic Penrose tilings, mostly developed by Nicolaas de Bruijn, that provided the major influence on the new field.
Framework of ideal proportions in a medieval manuscript without multiple columns. Determined by Jan Tschichold 1953. Page proportion 2:3. margin proportions 1:1:2:3, Text area proportioned in the Golden Section. The lower outer corner of the text area is fixed by a diagonal as well.
Who would suspect, for example, that the switch plate for single light switches are standardized in terms of a Golden Rectangle?
Johnson, Art (1999). Famous problems and their mathematicians. Teacher Ideas Press. p. 45. ISBN 9781563084461. The Golden Ratio is a standard feature of many modern designs, from postcards and credit cards to posters and light-switch plates.

Cox, Simon (2004). Cracking the Da Vinci Code. Barnes & Noble. p. 62. ISBN 978-1-84317-103-4. The Golden Ratio also crops up in some very unlikely places: widescreen televisions, postcards, credit cards and photographs all commonly conform to its proportions.
The half-folio page (30.7 × 44.5 cm) was made up of two rectangles—the whole page and its text area—based on the so called 'golden section', which specifies a crucial relationship between short and long sides, and produces an irrational number, as pi is, but is a ratio of about 5:8.

Part of the process of becoming a mathematics writer is, it appears, learning that you cannot refer to the golden ratio without following the first mention by a phrase that goes something like 'which the ancient Greeks and others believed to have divine and mystical properties.' Almost as compulsive is the urge to add a second factoid along the lines of 'Leonardo Da Vinci believed that the human form displays the golden ratio.' There is not a shred of evidence to back up either claim, and every reason to assume they are both false. Yet both claims, along with various others in a similar vein, live on.
