"Man is the measure of all things" could well be Le Corbusier's drive behind his designs especially the Villa Savoye where it is built based on human ergonomics and the Golden Ratio which also relates back to a harmonic geometry in relation to the human body.
In my study of the Golden ratio in the Villa Savoye, I found out that the golden rectangle was used in openings throughout the facade, in room spaces and heights while the root 5 rectangle was the overall height of the building to the length. Squares were also being used for the pilotis, terrace and courtyards.
