It’s found in commonly through nature and often in design (whether intended or by coincidence).

there is a great book called “The Golden Ratio” that discusses the history of just this. It also looks at a lot of common occurrences of it in art and architecture and (as I recall) concludes that a LOT of them require some fudging to really fit the correct ratio.
