LE MODULOR

 According to Wikipedia, the Modulor is an anthropometric scale of proportions devised by the Swiss-born French architect Le Corbusier. It was developed as a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the Imperial system and the Metric system. It is based on the height of an English man with his arm raised. It was used as a system to set out a number of Le Corbusier's buildings.


Le modular is a scales that develop as a visual bridge. It base on the date of the research about a man's height, size and weight. This scale normally it use as a system for the Le Corbusier's buildingDue to this system, now we have our own country modular that shows us that our resident's height. size and weight. this system help us that how high should we building for our building.


Le Modulor supposes that harmonious design can, must, proceed from a scale of proportions analogous to the scale of tones used in music. This scale is derived from a six-foot high person with one arm above their head, the other hand held at waist high.
