How Le Corbusier's Modulor System Applies the Golden Section to Building Design
Quick fact
Le Corbusier's Modulor was based on the height of a six-foot man, and its two overlapping Fibonacci sequences (red and blue) generate dimensions that range from tiny to monumental, all scaled to human proportions.
Why this is interesting
Imagine designing a building where every dimension, from the height of a doorknob to the width of a window, is determined by a single mathematical formula—and that formula comes from the human body. How might that change the way we experience space?
