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. These two volumes, presented here in a box set together, form an integral part of Le Corbusier’s theoretical writings. Le Modulor was first published in 1950 and after meeting with success, he went on to publish Modulor 2 in 1955. Evidence of his Modulor system can be seen in many of Le Corbusier’s most notable buildings, including the Chapel at Ronchamp and the Unité d’habitation.
