Le Modulor is an anthropometric scale of proportions, by the Swiss-born French Architect Le Corbusier. (1887-1965).It is based on an English man's height with his hand rise above his head. It was created to serve as a visual bridge between two incompatible mathematical scale, the Metric system and the Imperial system. It was used for building measurements and for finding other mathematical proportions in the human body, and to improve both the appearance and the functionality of architecture. the system is based on the human measurement, the double unit, the fibonacci numbers, and the golden ratio. Le Corbusier described his findings as " range of harmonious measurements to suit human scale, universally applicable to architecture and mechanical things".
