The #Modulor was meant as a universal system of #proportions. The ambition was vast: it was devised to reconcile maths, the human form, architecture and beauty into a single system. This system could then be used to provide the measurements for all aspects of #design from #door_handles to #cities, and #leCorbusier believed that it could be further applied to #industry and #mechanics. The fundamental " #module " of the Modulor is a six-foot man (182,88cm). This #ModulorMan is segmented according the " #goldensection ", a #ratio of approximately 1.61; so the ratio of the total height of the figure to the height to the figure's navel is 1.61. These proportions can be scaled up or down to infinity using a #Fibonacci progression.
