Interesting considering that there is not a straight line or a right angle anywhere on the building. It looks like there is, especially from a distance, but everything has a slight curvature to it. Plus, it's not really symmetrical, though it appears so, each piece is specific to its individual location and cannot be interchanged with other pieces.
It does demonstrate the Golden ratio though, and is an example of the classical Greek concept of "Man is the Measure of all things".
The front and back may have eight columns across them but the sides have seventeen. So there is a pesky odd number too.
Sorry to burst the bubble. :angel:

Not a problem. Two sides of seventeen columns make a total of 34 side columns. Ah, my beloved even number. Now, if it were a pentagon, I would be in trouble.
Bubble still intact......
