Abstract

Our study is a theoretical approach to David Birkhoff’s theory on aesthetical measure and other theories of measure, as a potential path to improve aesthetic engineering theory. Golden ratio, fractal dimension, a few principles of design, self-organizing maps, evolutionary systems and the concept of complexity measures are the steps we considered. Our conclusion is that an objective measure of the aesthetic concept is far from being put to life.
