Le Corbusier developed the Modulor in the long tradition of Vitruvius, Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, the work of Leone Battista Alberti, and other attempts to discover mathematical proportions in the human body and then to use that knowledge to improve both the appearance and function of architecture.[1] The system is based on human measurements, the double unit, the Fibonacci numbers, and the golden ratio. Le Corbusier described it as a "range of harmonious measurements to suit the human scale, universally applicable to architecture and to mechanical things." Source:Wikipedia No Wonder That Le Corbusier's Theory Sounds So Familiar, He Somehow "Improved & Improvised" Leonardo's Ratio Calculations On The Human's Body and Adapted It To Modern Architechture. As Quoted By Le Corbusier, "range of harmonious measurements to suit the human scale, universally applicable to architecture and to mechanical things." |
