In the years 1942 to 1948, Le Corbusier developed a system of
measurements which became known as “Modulor”. Based on the
Golden Section and Fibonacci numbers and also using the physical
dimensions of the average human, “Modulor” is a sequence of
measurements which Le Corbusier used to achieve harmony in his
architectural compositions. Le Modulor was published in 1950 and
after meeting with success, Le Corbusier went on to publish Modulor
2 in 1955. In many of Le Le Corbusier’s most notable buildings,
including the Chapel at Ronchamp and the Unité d’habitation,
evidence of his Modulor system can be seen. These two volumes form
an important and integral part of Le Corbusier’s theoretical
writings.
