Research on Le Corbusier’s Architectural Order -- Modulor

Abstract

As the deep structure of architecture, architecture order can express the inherent characteristics of architecture. Le Corbusier’s Modulor is his expression of architectural order. Modulor is to find a more suitable method to measure the space scale. It can quickly build nodes through geometric rules to form an artificial order beauty. From the Residence of Marseille, which was the first large-scale attempt at modulus values, to the Heidi Weber Museum, which was later combined with prefabricated buildings, the Modulor was applied in different ways in different stages of Le Corbusier’s career. This article discusses and analyzes the generation and development of the Modulor, its practical application in different stages, and its development prospects.
