To all the architects and designers in here, re: Proportions; do you use the geometric proportion systems we were taught in school (Golden Mean, Harmonic Mean, etc.), or do you just use eyeball based intuitive proportions?

A good online collection of traditional japanese interiors and gardens would be much welcome as well. [more inside]
