Two Scottish universities, one English, one Italian and one French are among the ten best universities in Europe, not in terms of prestige or history, but in terms of architecture. This ranking is not interested in academic reputation or illustrious alumni, even if institutions like Oxford are present. Instead, it emphasizes the appeal of campuses and the visual experience of students, re-evaluating the aesthetic impact of buildings.
The company Digital Pr Agency, equipped with a ruler, a square, a calculator and a lot of patience, measured the visual harmony of the buildings of the different universities, whether the main campus or the library, based on the golden ratio, this divine proportion appreciated by artists and painters. In other words, this criterion, according to science, constitutes an indisputable index, or at least more objective than personal taste, of universal beauty.
Looking through the images below, you will not find any faults, just a slight regret for not having had the opportunity to study in places so seductive to the eyes, capable of eliminating or at least softening any feelings stress as an exam approaches. You have to see it to believe it: never has earning a degree been so aesthetically satisfying.
