Abstract (EN)
Numbers are of great importance in the existence of the universe. While the universe came into being, it was clamped in numbers. Greens are the output of interlocking; Animals are the output of interlocking. The dominant element of the output, the formation of human beings, was made possible by the guidance of numbers. So nature certainly has science. The science of numbers manifests itself in everything, including humans, in the sky, in the elements. The adventure of the number, which started from the first civilizations, began to take on its meaning with the developing people and opportunities. While number was a science, it was also able to open mystical doors. The Pythagorean philosophy shaped by the initiates of Mesopotamia and Egypt, "Everything is number!" with its cries, carried the numbers beyond mathematics and geometry and attributed metaphysical meanings. Numbers are not the production of the universe, the universe is the production of numbers. Production, defined by Pythagoras with square, rectangle, circle and triangle, oscillates on the axis of the terms mathematics-order-belief-geometry-harmony with Pythagoras' theorems and discoveries that contributed to mathematics. The architect and engineer Vitruvius, who was influenced by the inferences of Pythagoras, established a relationship between man and architecture by examining the proportion in creation, that is, the proportion of the human body, and idealized the buildings according to the masculine individual. Leonardo da Vinci successfully processed the ratio-proportion system put forward by Vitruvius and drew the Vitruvian Man, the man inside a square and a circle. The work, which is one of the first concrete examples of trying to establish the balance between nature and human, continues to affect people even centuries after itself. 20th century architect Le Corbusier is one of the best examples of this situation. He configured Vitruvian Man and transferred to his own system Modulor. The idea of catching the order, harmony, perfection, even God, by taming the relations between nature and human, has never changed. In this study, the inevitable bond between Pythagoras and Le Corbusier is handled, starting from the Golden Ratio and number mysticism, of the numbers proceeding with the above-mentioned transfers.
