it is great to use the Fibonacci Gauge in designing aesthetically appealing looks in every object, from furniture to architecture but when it comes to dealing with not so proportionally designed spaces (such as many modern rooms and houses) it is not very easy to make use of such methods when "most use of least space" is a major limitation, unless that space has already been designed using the Fibonacci Gauge and Golden Section in mind. still however, sacrificing some room, the FG can be used.
Yeah, also someone "proved" that egyptian pyramids' walls are in pi proportion or sth(dont exactly remember). I do not believe this guy, he just found some pictures of building and drawer that they have this gold ratio, probably edited them in Paint and that's all...
Its actually a well known fact that ancient builders commonly used phi ratios in their design, not to mention in the works of leonardo da vinci. The greek parthanon is a stellar example of phi ratios due to the many small variations within. Phi is in us all wither we like it or not, ancient builders understood this and embraced it
