The following exercise was done through Yale's School of Architecture, to allow students to study the mathematical beauty and perfection of honeycombs. The respective renderings and diagrams all demonstrate the beautiful proportions which dictate honey combs as individual cells and a collective bee hive. Many of these same proportions emerge throughout architecture, particularly that of the sacred. The pleasure that the honeycomb and its respective bee evokes is nothing short of the Kantian sublime, a mathematical beauty that calls upon our smallness.
