Architecture and Planning Miscellaneous

  1. Proportioning system used in the layout of Mughal Gardens is derived from
    1. Rational number system
    2. Constants of equilateral triangle
    3. Irrational number system
    4. Constants of right angled isosceles triangle
Correct Option: A

Proportioning is based on rational number system, as the landscape garden is arranged into a char-bagh or quadrants, each of which can be further sub-divided into sub-quadrants, so every quadrant can be expressed as a rational or a fraction 1/n, where n is the total number of quadrants. Example, the garden is broadly divided into four quadrants to start with (1/4), each of which are again divided into four quadrants, therefore that one quadrant can be expressed as 1/(4 × 4) = 1/16, each fur ther divided int o quadrant s, i.e., 1/(16 × 16) = 1/256, as seen in the Mughal Gardens of the Taj Mahal complex.
