Book excerpt: 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 Corbusier’s most notable buildings, including the Chapel at Ronchamp and the Unité d’habitation, evidence of his Modulor system can be seen. These two volumes form an important and integral part of Le Corbusier’s theoretical writings.

Book Synopsis The Modulor by Le Corbusier 1943-54. Revised and Extended Edition. by : Juan Manuel Franco Taboada

Download or read book The Modulor by Le Corbusier 1943-54. Revised and Extended Edition. written by Juan Manuel Franco Taboada. This book was released on 2018-04-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a revised and extended version of the article that I wrote and published in 1996, 22 years ago now, which for some time I have felt the need to update. Some parts of the text have been modified, others removed and others extended, all as a result of the maturity that I have gained after all these years of experience. I have of course also changed some of my own pictures which were the result of a surprising and naive confidence in myself. Some of the original images from my old edition of the Modulor have been retained, I suppose out of pure nostalgia and a love for one's own books, despite the fact that they could have been replaced by others that were better scanned than the originals produced with an old hand-held scanner... and others have been removed.I believe that this evolved version of the original article will be worthy of greater recognition from the large number of people from around the world who have been and are kind enough to read it.Manuel Franco, A Coruña, April 2018

Book Synopsis Architectural Principles in the Age of Cybernetics by : Christopher Hight

Download or read book Architectural Principles in the Age of Cybernetics written by Christopher Hight. This book was released on 2007-12-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theoretical history of anthropomorphism and proportion in modern architecture, this volume brings into focus the discourse around proportion with current problems of post-humanism in architecture alongside the new possibilities made available through digital technologies. The book examines how the body and its ordering has served as a central site of architectural discourse in recent decades, especially in attempts to reformulate architecture’s relationship to humanism, modernism and technology. Challenging some concepts and categories of architectural history and situates current debates within a broader cultural and technological context, Hight makes complex ideas easily accessible. Extensively illustrated and written without academic jargon for an informed but non-specialized architectural audience, this book elucidates the often obscure debates of avant-garde architectural discourse and design, while demonstrating how these debates have affected everyday places and concepts of architecture. As a result, it will appeal to professional architects, academics and students, combining as it does an insightful introduction to the fundamental issues of architectural history and theory over the past fifty years with entirely new formulations of what that history is and means.
