Golden ratio assessments of aesthetic value and proportion on existing Minbar at the state mosques in Johore.

Abstract

The minbar is an important mosque element found in the prayer hall. A range of height, width and length is available. The proportion of the minbar to the prayer hall is sometimes overlooked, diminishing the interior aesthetic value. The golden ratio is a design choice that is vital in developing the optimum product design. It is often recognised that using this ratio effectively is a terrific method to create. Thus, this study aims to apply the Golden Ratio principle to the minbar by describing the aesthetic value and interior proportion mathematically. This study determined the appropriate ratio of anthropometric elements via golden spiral template made in AutoCAD programme. When a/b equals a+b/a, the ratios equal 1.618. A total of 27 extant minbars from mosques in Johor were studied. The study's conclusions focused on the front and side elevations of the minbar's width, height, and depth. 11.1% (3 minbar) had the best proportion among the 27 components. 1.5 and 1.7 are close to the golden spiral ratio's ideal ratios. In general, the 88.9% minbar does not meet the golden ratio requirements for height, width, and weight. The Golden Ratio is used to make beautiful minbars. The proportion of mathematics related to user comfort and aesthetic appeal. The elegant design creates a safe and comfortable minbar.
