le modulor de le corbusier: Livres, Edition originale (19 résultats)

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In the years 1942 to 1948, Le Corbusier developed a system of measurements which became known as Modulor. Based on the Golden Section and Fibonacci numbers and also using the physical dimensions of the average human, Modulor is a sequence of measurements which Le Corbusier used to achieve harmony in his architectural compositions. Le Modulor was published in 1950 and after meeting with success, Le Corbusier went on to publish Modulor 2 in 1955. In many of Le Corbusiers most notable buildings, including the Chapel at Ronchamp and the Unite dhabitation, evidence of his Modulor system can be seen. These two volumes form an important and integral part of Le Corbusiers theoretical writings. Le Corbusier developed a system of measurements which became know as "Modulor", based on the Golden Section and Fibonacci numbers and also using the physical dimensions of the average human. This title incorporates two volumes based on Modulor. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

"In Le Corbusier's buildings and art a recurrent silhouette appears: the Modulor Man. It's a stylised human figure, standing proudly and square-shouldered, sometimes with one arm raised, the mascot of Le Corbusier's system for re-ordering the universe.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 entire cities, and Corbusier believed that it could be further applied to industry and mechanics. The modulor system had a series of scales and measurements, laid out in a modulor rule. The fundamental 'module' of the Modulor is a six-foot man, allegedly based on the usual height of the detectives in the English crime novels Corbusier enjoyed" (ICON website) Size: 8vo.

A second volume followed in 1958. - - 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 systems. It is based on the height of a man with his arm raised. Modulor considered the standard human height as 1.75 m, excluding feminine measures. The dimensions were refined with overall height of raised arm set at 2.26 m. It was used as a system to explain a number of Le Corbusier's buildings and was later codified in two books, the first part of which we offer here. [Source: Wikipedia].
