So...can we see some sources/stats corroborating your claim that "...the fact is that this ratio appeals...". I'm sure there aren't any, and whether or not a certain artist/architect is fancied by it, is a purely subjective choice. "Golden ratio is found in the nature also..."! Again a claim that anticipates more than a few verifiable sources! Whether or not such occurrences are scientifically and statistically significant, is another debate.
