    The Greeks developed the first well-established principles of architectural aesthetics based on their beliefs that mathematical proportion and the human body were the roots of beauty. They valued harmony, balance and symmetry in design. Over time, as these principles were applied and refined in buildings, they became standards widely used to ensure structures met societal aesthetic ideals by translating ideas into physical designs that were proportionate and balanced.
