<p>The <b>Modulor</b> is an <a href="Anthropometric" class="mw-redirect" title="Anthropometric">anthropometric</a> <a href="Scale_(ratio)" title="Scale (ratio)">scale</a> of <a href="Proportion_(architecture)" title="Proportion (architecture)">proportions</a> devised by the <a href="List_of_Swiss_people" title="List of Swiss people">Swiss-born</a> <a href="List_of_French_people" title="List of French people">French</a> <a href="Architect" title="Architect">architect</a> <a href="Le_Corbusier" title="Le Corbusier">Le Corbusier</a> (1887–1965).

</p><p>It was developed as a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the <a href="Imperial_and_US_customary_measurement_systems" title="Imperial and US customary measurement systems">Imperial</a> and the <a href="Metric_system" title="Metric system">metric</a> systems. It is based on the height of a man with his arm raised. The Modulor considered the standard human height as 1.83 m, excluding feminine measures. The dimensions were refined with overall height of raised arm set at 2.26 m.

</p><p>It was used as a system to set out a number of Le Corbusier's buildings and was later codified into two books.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>Le Corbusier developed the Modulor in the long tradition of <a href="Vitruvius" title="Vitruvius">Vitruvius</a>, <a href="Leonardo_da_Vinci" title="Leonardo da Vinci">Leonardo da Vinci's</a> <a href="Vitruvian_Man" title="Vitruvian Man">Vitruvian Man</a>, the work of <a href="Leon_Battista_Alberti" title="Leon Battista Alberti">Leon Battista Alberti</a>, 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 <a href="Architecture" title="Architecture">architecture</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEOstwald2001146_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEOstwald2001146-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The system is inspired by but does not exactly correspond to <a href="Anthropometry" title="Anthropometry">human measurements</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-:1_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and it also draws inspiration from the double unit, the <a href="Fibonacci_numbers" class="mw-redirect" title="Fibonacci numbers">Fibonacci numbers</a>, and the <a href="Golden_ratio" title="Golden ratio">golden ratio</a>. Le Corbusier described it as a "range of harmonious measurements to suit the human scale, universally applicable to architecture and to mechanical things".

</p><p>With the Modulor, Le Corbusier sought to introduce a scale of visual measures that would unite two virtually incompatible systems: the <a href="Anglo-Saxons" title="Anglo-Saxons">Anglo-Saxon</a> <a href="Foot_(length)" class="mw-redirect" title="Foot (length)">foot</a> and <a href="Inch" title="Inch">inch</a> and the international <a href="Metric_system" title="Metric system">metric system</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200417_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200417-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Whilst he was intrigued by ancient civilisations who used measuring systems linked to the human body: elbow (<a href="Cubit" title="Cubit">cubit</a>), finger (<a href="Digit_(length)" class="mw-redirect" title="Digit (length)">digit</a>), thumb (inch) etc., he was troubled by the <a href="Metre" title="Metre">metre</a> as a measure that was a forty-millionth part of the meridian of the earth.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200420_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200420-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In 1943, in response to the French National Organisation for Standardisation's (<a href="AFNOR" title="AFNOR">AFNOR</a>) requirement for standardising all the objects involved in the construction process, Le Corbusier asked an apprentice to consider a scale based upon a man with his arm raised to 2.20 m in height.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200436_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200436-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The result, in August 1943 was the first graphical representation of the derivation of the scale. This was refined after a visit to the Dean of the Faculty of Sciences in Sorbonne on 7 February 1945 which resulted in the inclusion of a golden section into the representation.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200443_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200443-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Whilst initially the Modulor Man's height was based on a French man's height of 1.75 metres (5 ft 9 in) it was changed to 1.83 m in 1946 because "in English detective novels, the good-looking men, such as policemen, are always six feet tall!".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200456_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200456-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The dimensions were refined to give round numbers and the overall height of the raised arm was set at 2.262 m.

</p><p>Of the works leading to the creation of the Modulor, Robin Evans notes that the female body "was only belatedly considered and rejected as a source of proportional harmony".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEOstwald2001146_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEOstwald2001146-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Promotion">Promotion</h2></div>

<p>On 10 January 1946 during a visit to New York, Le Corbusier met with <a href="Henry_J._Kaiser" title="Henry J. Kaiser">Henry J. Kaiser</a>, an American industrialist whose <a href="Kaiser_Shipyard" class="mw-redirect" title="Kaiser Shipyard">Kaiser Shipyard</a> had built <a href="Liberty_ship" title="Liberty ship">Liberty ships</a> during World War II. Kaiser's project was to build ten thousand new houses a day, but he had changed his mind and decided to build cars instead.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200452_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier200452-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During the interview, Le Corbusier sympathised with Kaiser's problems of coordinating the adoption of equipment between the American and British armies because of the differences in units of length; and promoted his own <i>harmonious scale</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier2004115_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier2004115-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>He also applied the principle of the Modulor to the efficient design of distribution crates in post war France.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier2004122_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELe_Corbusier2004122-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Graphic_representation">Graphic representation</h2></div>

<p>The graphic representation of the Modulor, a stylised human figure with one arm raised, stands next to two vertical measurements, a red series based on the figure's navel height (1.08 m in the original version, 1.13 m in the revised version) and segmented according to <a href="Phi" title="Phi">Phi</a> and a blue series based on the figure's entire height, double the navel height (2.16 m in the original version, 2.26 m in the revised), segmented similarly. A <a href="Spiral" title="Spiral">spiral</a>, graphically developed between the red and blue segments, seems to mimic the volume of the human figure.

</p><p>The Modulor 2 was drawn by André Maissonier and Justino Serralta.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Practical_application">Practical application</h2></div>

<p>Le Corbusier used his Modulor scale in the design of many <a href="Le_Corbusier#Key_buildings" title="Le Corbusier">buildings</a>, including:

The modular governs: the plan, section and elevations; the <a href="Brise_soleil" title="Brise soleil">brise-soleil</a>; the roof; the supporting columns and the plan and section of the apartments.
