Le Modulor

Week 10
Le Modulor:

Actually it was created to realize the mathematical proportions of human body as well as to develop the form and function of architecture. Here human measurements, the double unit, the Fibonacci numbers, and the golden ratio are the main things in this system. Le Corbusier divided human bodies into two sections in golden ratio. Golden ratio proportion can be used in architecture, art, music etc which provides divine proportion. So the importance of the Modular is to “harmonious measurement of the human scale”.

One of example of this system:
