The Modulor is an anthropometric scale of proportions devised by the Swiss-born French architect Le Corbusier (1887–1965). It was developed as a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the imperial and the metric system. It is based on the height of a man with his arm raised. Finally codified in 1945 after several years of research, Le Corbusier’s it is probably the most comprehensive proportional system imagined during the 20th century.
