BLOG ASSIGNMENT 3 ; LE MODULOR

Some Artwork Related To Le Modulor, I Accidently Googled Imaged It and This Images Popped Up. This Is Quite Interesting, This Set Of Images Really Sparked Me To Dig More On Le Modulor.

There Was A Book Published About Le Modulor and Based On The Content It's About A Guy Named LE CORBUSIER Which Developed A Measurement Which Become Known As MODULOR. Le Modulor Was Le Corbusier's Brainchild Theory , Calulations, Rules - That Would Immortalize His Name Amongst Architechtural Titans and Would Long Inspire.

Well, This Is An Interesting Line.

" Based On The Golden Section & Fibonacci Numbers & Also Using The Physical Dimensions Of The Average Human "
I Swear It's On The Tip Of My Tongue That I Can Name Another Artist using The Same Theory Concept Applied To His Art. But I/m Gonna Talk More On This Deeper On.

Hint / Spoiler : Vinci, Vitruvian , Mona
This Is Le Corbusier ; Or His Birth Name Charles-Édouard Jeanneret. Le Corbusier Adopted That Nickname From A Distance Ancestor & Decided To Keep It.

He's A Swiss Architect, Designer, Urbanist, Writer and Painter, Famous For Being One Of The Pioneers Of What Now Is Called Modern Achitechture.

As Stated That He Was An Architect, Designer, Painter. The Striking Resemblence Of An Iconic Artist Strikes Me Once Again As His Art Principals Revolutionizes How The Later Generations Do Their Work and Draw Influences From.

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."

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."
