Problem 5: Balanced Proportion

Correct!

Of the three architectural images below which is the best example of balanced proportion?

Building A

Building B

Building C

Building C is the correct answer because the ratio of the height to the width is in equilibrium, and therefore seems balanced and pleasing to the eye. To most of us, the proportions of diagram (a) are too tall and those of (b) too compressed.
