"In Le Corbusiers buildings and art a recurrent silhouette appears: the Modulor Man. Its a stylised human figure standing proudly and square-shouldered sometimes with one arm raised the mascot of Le Corbusiers system for re-ordering the universe.The Modulor was meant as a universal system of proportions. The ambition was vast: it was devised to reconcile maths the human form architecture and beauty into a single system. This system could then be used to provide the measurements for all aspects of design from door handles to entire cities and Corbusier believed that it could be further applied to industry and mechanics. The modulor system had a series of scales and measurements laid out in a modulor rule. The fundamental 'module' of the Modulor is a six-foot man allegedly based on the usual height of the detectives in the English crime novels Corbusier enjoyed" ICON website. First Edition. Hardback.

430157Paperback. Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Between 1942 and 1955 the architect Le Corbusier 1887–1965 developed a universal measuring system known as the "Modulor".The Modulor represented an attempt to give architecture a mathematical order oriented to a human scale. Starting from the golden ratio and the proportions of the human body Le Corbusier developed his doctrine for the proportions of construction. He started from an assumed standard size of the human body and marked three intervals related to each other in the proportion of the golden ratio. Le Corbusier managed to combine the imperial measuring system based on the foot with the metric decimal system and at the same time to relate to human body measurements. As a result he obtained a systematic planning basis for architecture and industrial products that gained worldwide currency and was applied by countless practitioners. paperback
