Editing Modulor (section)

==Practical application==
Le Corbusier used his Modulor scale in the design of many [[Le Corbusier#Key buildings|buildings]], including:

===Unité d'Habitation à Marseille===

In his first book on the subject ''The Modulor'', Le Corbusier has a chapter on the use of the modular in the [[Unité d'Habitation]]. The modular governs: the plan, section and elevations; the [[Brise soleil|brise-soleil]]; the roof; the supporting columns and the plan and section of the apartments. It was also used for the dimensions of the commemorative stone laid on 14 October 1947.{{sfnp|Le Corbusier|2004|p=131}} A version of the Modulor Man was [[casting|cast]] in [[concrete]] near the entrance.

===Church of Sainte Marie de La Tourette===

In the Church of [[Sainte Marie de La Tourette]] Le Corbusier floors the majority of the church in pale concrete panels set to Modulor dimensions.{{sfnp|Samuel|2007|p=62}} Also, the engineer [[Iannis Xenakis]] applied the Modulor system to the design of the exterior vertical ventilators or "ondulatoires".{{sfnp|Samuel|2007|p=83}}

===Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts===

In the [[Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts|Carpenter Center]] the Modulor system was used for the brise-soleil distances, the floor to floor heights, the bay distances and the column thicknesses.{{sfnp|Sekler|Curtis|1978|p=158}} Le Corbusier conceived that the dimensioning of the entrance ramp would be "''visible essay on the mathematics of the human body''".{{sfnp|Sekler|Curtis|1978|p=182}}

=== Unite d'Habitation a Berlin. ===
In this image of the Modulor in Berlin, there are several messages:

# The typical apartment is designed for four people. (Note 4 people in bed on the right).
# The patterns of paint on the side of the balconies is explained by diagonal line.
# Brie Soleil is sized by the height of the Modulor man.
# The room height is calculated by the Modulor.
