John Oscar Lieben is a geometer who has researched sacred geometry and harmonics for over 25 years. A graduate of New York University, he also studied at Oregon School of Arts and Crafts and Roehampton College in London. A designer and builder of gardens and ceremonial spaces proportioned by sacred geometry, he lives in Bellingham, Washington.
“From a drop of water to the expanse of the solar system and
beyond, this book reveals an unseen harmony pervading the natural
world.”
*Mark Vidler and Catherine Young, authors of Sacred Geometry of the
Earth*
“John Oscar Lieben has developed a simple framework with which to
view the whole world of geometric formation and proportion. His
visual language maintains wholeness while giving detailed examples
in architecture, musical proportion, the human form, cosmic time,
and the elements. This art and craft can form sacred images which,
like traditional mandalas and yantras, find a balanced order in the
world.”
*Richard Heath, author of The Harmonic Origins of the World*
