Abstract

Relativity and proportionality in general are two of the biggest beauty secrets, and everything that surrounds us will become
beautiful if its lengths are mathematically proportional and are not random lengths. The golden ratio is a ratio that has existed
for thousands of years, and is found in mathematics, art and architecture. The rapid development in the field of interior design
requires continuous development in the teaching courses of the Interior Design and Furniture Program, and the Fundamentals of
Interior Design course was chosen because it is a foundational course aimed at developing creativity and the ability to inspire
students. Where the research sheds light on some approaches to organizing the design elements according to a grid pattern derived
from the construction systems in nature. Such as the golden ratio, the Fibonacci series, the Lockerbose modules, the fractal, the
Frauni diagram, and it refers to the choice of the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence, where the first axis is exposed to their
study and to the sources of their presence in nature and the applications of their use, then the research in the second axis is
subjected to the study of the headquarters Fundamentals of design, and it explains its teaching methodology, networks used in
teaching, and models of students' work, and the third axis deals with the developed modular network and its importance in design,
and then reviews network models inspired by the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence, which are considered inputs developed
for networks useful in enriching And the diversity of the design outputs of students
