Le Modulor

Le Modulor is a system of scale proportions devised by Charles-Edouard Jeanneret or better known as Le Corbusier.


It is based on the height of an English man with his arm raised up.




He developed Le Modulor in a way of Vitruvius, Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. The system was based on human measurements.



Le Modulor rules:
-Rule one: a lign must start in a corner and finish in the corner diagonally opposite.
-Rule two: the lign must be a curve that begins by embracing one of the 90° lines that forms the chosen corner, and must follow its curve until it reaches the opposite corner, also embracing the grid line.
