How did Le Corbusier develop his Modulor system?
The Modulor is the embodiment of my lifelong search for universal, harmonious proportions derived from man and nature. It is an anthropometric scale of measurement, a direct extension of the Golden Section, which I saw as a divine proportion inherent in the universe. By scaling human dimensions, a standard foot, and an upward-extending series of measures based on the Fibonacci sequence, I sought to create a unified system for architectural and mechanical design. It is a tool for designers, artisans, and engineers, a bridge between the human body and the dimensions of the built environment, ensuring a harmonious relationship between scale and form, as articulated in my book, *Le Modulor*.
