From a natural point of view:

Vitruvian Man; "The drawing is based on the correlations of ideal human proportions with geometry described by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius in Book III of his treatise De Architectura. Vitruvius described the human figure as being the principal source of proportion among the Classical orders of architecture. Other artists had attempted to depict the concept, with less success. The drawing is traditionally named in honour of the architect."

The Modulor is a scale of proportions devised by the French, Swiss born architect Le Corbusier (1887–1965).
