I thought that design (blindly) based on Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci-Series was frowned upon here on HN

Blindly?

I wouldn't say that this article is blindly based on the golden ratio.

It has merit.

But while on the subject of frowned upon...

Do you know what else was frowned up at one point?

The Sun being the center of our solar system.

Just because it's frowned upon doesn't mean it's not true :-P
