WHY 175CM
Leonardo da Vinci calculated the average human height as 175 cm. His studies of human proportions, most famously illustrated in ‘’The Vitruvian Man’’, reveal his deep exploration of the idealized human form based on classical concepts.
In the Vitruvian Man, da Vinci drew a human figure fitting within a circle and a square, illustrating the proportional relationships described by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius. These proportions reflected the average human height of 175 cm, focusing on the body’s relative dimensions.
