Proportional Harmonics

The tower's proportions follow classical harmonic ratios, whether by design or intuition. The height-to-base ratio approximates the golden section. The three levels divide the total height in proportions that echo musical intervals. These mathematical relationships create visual harmony that transcends cultural aesthetics.

Japanese architect Tadao Ando, analyzing the tower, discovered these proportional relationships align with traditional Japanese architectural principles: "The ma—the space between elements—is as carefully designed as the elements themselves. This is why the tower feels balanced despite its unprecedented height. It respects universal principles of proportion."
