Abstract

The approximation of a golden logarithmic spiral by quarter circles is well known. Starting from this, we show that any logarithmic spiral can be approximated by quarter circles in a similar way. Using our construction on a rectangle with aspect ratio √휙 and performing a coordinate reparametrization, we obtain an aesthetic partition of the plane as our main artwork.
