Mi-juillet, mon ami breton Christian est venu me visiter à Marseille.

Ici, la Cité Radieuse de Le Corbusier. On y voit les silhouettes du Modulor, sorte d'unité de mesure basée sur l'Homme.

Cover of "Der Modulor" by Le Corbusier (Ed.5, 1985)

Between 1942 and 1955 the architect Le Corbusier (1887–1965) developed a universal measuring system known as the "Modulor".

The Modulor represented an attempt to give architecture a mathematical order oriented to a human scale. Starting from the golden ratio and the proportions of the human body, Le Corbusier developed his doctrine for the proportions of construction. He started from an assumed standard size of the human body and marked three intervals related to each other in the proportion of the golden ratio.

Le Corbusier managed to combine the imperial measuring system based on the foot with the metric decimal system and at the same time to relate to human body measurements. As a result, he obtained a systematic planning basis for architecture and industrial products that gained worldwide currency and was applied by countless practitioners. —ETH Library, ETH Zurich

Oh and I was in heaven:

I bought eco-friendly sketchbooks:

I tried.

Modulor, Boesner... you call it, I'm helpless.

To be fair, I don't think meds powerful enough to cancel out Art Supply Euphoria/Delirium exist yet. The only hypothetically promising strategy would be to go with a chaperone who is in charge of my wallet and shoos me onwards when I drift off my path of "actually need this". But then, that would require knowing someone who is immune to the effect... It's futile.

(What actually does limit the damage, is forgetting the code for your debit card so you can only spend cash. 👀)
