@pgntwo Leonardo was fascinated by the application of science and mathematics to Art. Vitruvius was an architect and therefore concerned with geometry. I think that his interest was in designing buildings which were possibly, in some way 'friendly' or 'felt right' by using the proportions of the human body in his designs.
