Le Corbusier published Le Modulor in 1948, followed by Modulor 2 in 1955. These works were first published in English as The Modulor in 1954 and Modulor 2 (Let the User Speak Next) in 1958.The Modulor is an anthropometric scale of proportions devised by the Swiss-born French architect Le Corbusier (1887-965).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.It was used as a system to set out a number of Le Corbusier's buildings and was later codified into two books.
