01 / Overview

The ancient Roman architect Vitruvius proposed that the ideal human body can be accommodated in both a circle and a square - with the navel as the center and the limbs touching the circumference; Height equals arm span, and the body meets the four sides of the square. Da Vinci created "The Vitruvian Man" based on this, idealizing this proportion as an eternal image. In terms of vertical proportion, the navel is also a key segmentation point, which, together with the head and torso, determines the visual balance of the body. By adjusting the position of the chin and navel, we can explore how changes in vertical proportions affect the overall harmony of the human body and experience the classical pursuit of "proportion is beauty".

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

The golden ratio refers to dividing the whole into two parts, with the ratio of the larger part to the whole being equal to the ratio of the smaller part to the larger part, which is approximately 0.618. This ratio is widely recognized as the most aesthetically pleasing ratio, hence it is called the golden ratio. Specifically for the human body, the golden ratio usually refers to the ratio of the lower body (i.e. the length from below the navel to the ankle) to the upper body (i.e. the length from above the ankle to the shoulder). According to this ratio, the length of the lower body should be about 0.618 times that of the upper body. Da Vinci created the famous painting "The Vitruvian Man" based on the golden ratio.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
