Le Modular

Based on wikipedia definition:
" The Modulor is an anthropometric scale of proportions devised by the Swiss-born French architect Le Corbusier (1887–1965). It was developed as a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the Imperial system and the Metric system. It is based on the height of an English man with his arm raised. It was used as a system to set out a number of Le Corbusier's buildings and was later codified into two books. "
Okay, so far my own understanding about Le Modular is quite simple as it is acts as a technique or more specifically a scale used by architect in their work for the imbalance scale. This technique being applied based on two system which are the Imperial system and Metric system.
