The Lutterloh System is based in
The Golden Rule and the relation
to the human body.

From earliest times artist, painters and sculptors have applied their special units of measure for the proportions of the human body - and also in architecture "the classical measure is the golden rule (sectio aurea)" The golden rule is considered the origin and the source of all beauty and harmony in the entire universe. What music is to the ear, so is the measurement of the golden rule to the eye.

The human body is in perfect mathematical proportion within itself. The man is the universal measure of all things.

Some examples:

The forearm, measured from the elbow to the wrist, corresponds with the length of the foot.

The length of the hand is the same as the length of the face.

The body height is eight times the length of the head.

The span of laterally outstretched arms, measured from finger-tip to finger-tip, is equal to the height of the body.
