Summary:
One of the delights of life is the discovery and rediscovery of patterns of order and beauty in nature—designs revealed by slicing through a head of cabbage or an orange, the forms of shells and butterfly wings. These images are awesome not just for their beauty alone, but because they suggest an order underlying their growth, a harmony existing in nature. What does it mean that such an order exists; how far does it extend? The Power of Limits was inspired by those simple discoveries of harmony. The author went on to investigate and measure hundreds of patterns—ancient and modern, minute and vast. His discovery, vividly illustrated here, is that certain proportions occur over and over again in all these forms. Patterns are also repeated in how things grow and are made—by the dynamic union of opposites—as demonstrated by the spirals that move in opposite directions in the growth of a plant. The joining of unity and diversity in the discipline of proportional limitations creates forms that are beautiful to us because they embody the principles of the cosmic order of which we are a part; conversely, the limitlessness of that order is revealed by the strictness of its forms. The author shows how we, as humans, are included in the universal harmony of form, and suggests that the union of complementary opposites may be a way to extend that harmony to the psychological and social realms as well.

Summary:
Fragiles et singulières, les cabanes sont construites sans plan préconçu. Elles abritent des individus qui ne s’y installent pas, n’y habitent jamais véritablement. Aux marges des villes et des sociétés, elles recomposent une certaine idée de la nature à laquelle nous désirons nous confronter tout en la craignant. Cette ambivalence fondamentale fait de la cabane un lieu de contradictions où coexistent le haut et le bas, l’ouvert et le fermé, le mobile et l’immobile, le jeu et le sérieux, la vie et la mort. Lieu de solitude et de retraite elle ouvre en même temps une perspective sur la communauté vers laquelle elle est toujours orientée et dont elle recompose l’idée.
