The Modulor is an anthropometric scale of proportions devised by the Swiss-born French architect Le Corbusier (1887–1965).
It was developed as a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the Imperial and the metric systems. It is based on the height of a man with his arm raised. Modulor considered the standard human height as 1.83 m, excluding feminine measures. The dimensions were refined with overall height of raised arm set at 2.26 m.
It was used as a system to set out a number of Le Corbusier's buildings and was later codified into two books.
height of the Modulor man. The room height is calculated by the Modulor. Le Corbusier published Le Modulor in 1948, followed by Modulor 2 in 1955. These...
