19.5 x 19.5cm. Hardcover with dustjacket, 243pp. The second UK edition of the seminal architect's proposal of a scale of measurement, compared in the foreword to a musical scale, based on harmonic proportions. From Le Corbusier's new foreword: "The first edition [1948] of the Modulor was sold out very quickly. The Modulor has had a friendly reception throughout the world. Architects everywhere have recognized in it, not a mystique, but a tool which may be put in the hands of creators of form, with the simple aim, as Professor Einstein has put it so well, of 'making the bad difficult and the good easy'". Top of jacket has 3cm closed tear, spine slightly slanted. Previous owner's names inked on front endpaper. Otherwise good.

"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.
