Proportion Modulor
by Le Corbusier
Is a central principle of architectural He therefore based his measuring tool, the Modulor,
theory and an important connection on both mathematics (the aesthetic dimensions of the
between mathematics and art. Golden Section and the Fibonacci Series), and the
proportions of the human body (functional
an ordered set of mathematical relationships dimensions).
among the dimensions of a form or space Le Corbusier saw the Modulor not merely as a series
Theories of Proportion: of numbers with an inherent harmony, but as a system
of measurements that could govern lengths, surfaces,
Golden Section and volumes, and “maintain the human scale
Classical Orders everywhere.”
