The same ratios that produce consonance in music - octave (1:2), perfect fifth (2:3), perfect fourth (3:4) were applied directly to architectural proportion by the Renaissance masters.
Alberti and Palladio documented this explicitly: a room whose dimensions follow musical ratios produces the same sense of resolution that a chord in tune produces in the ear. This is not metaphor.
The mathematics is identical. We design room proportions, ceiling heights and spatial sequences from the same harmonic series that governs musical composition.
