Love it, I'm an architect

The only bad thing for me is the small size but the books came in great condition, great quality and all the pages complete. It's an important part of my book collection from the architectural historical perspective. It's timeless

Great Book, odd size.

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2015

this is a small book, the size of a CD Box-set. I don't know why but that bugged me.

However, this is the legit work of one of the worlds great design philosophers.
If you enjoy design history this is a must read.

Le Corbusier's Modulor l and ll

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2007

The books arrived well packaged and on time. The books however were a little smaller than what I anticipated since the last time I reviewed these same books was at a local library, but nevertheless I was impressed that the books did come in a compacted design. For what better way to show off the design tool called the Modulor by placeing a picture of it on it's very own jacket that comes with the books. You feel as if the whole box set is some sort of handy carpenters tape measure to carry 'round with you.The inside of the book is full of explanatory remarks about perfecting, creating and applying this human scale ruler which incorporates the practical use of what is termed the Golden Section and thereby adhereing it to his/your own building designs. For those of you who are avid Golden Ratio/Section seekers these two books are a great gift idea and a great collectors item.The books also include many letters too from his colleagues who critique and sometimes try to disprove his modular idea, that it really works.I have included pictures to show you the overall appearance of both books and its smart jacket design. Therefore I say an excellant choice and would recommend to college students, Architects, and all those versed in the Arts in general

Ambitious

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2009

Le Corbusier fans and students know the couragous contributions this great architect gave the world. Le Modulor is the tool with which he created his great works and belived that this tool is accessable to all. A tool that assists the designer to ensure proportion is always (if not most of the time) correct, true, and beautiful. Le Modular addresses the philosophy behind the tool and discusses the usablity of the tool.

Another excellent book is "Geometry of Design: Studies in Proportion and Composition" by Kimberly Elam. It is short on words, adequate on images, and terrific at explaining in an elemental way the use of proportioning tools.

Very well produced, but...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is very well produced. The slip case is well made and the books are printed on acid-free paper with the layout being the same as older editions.
But I have one reservation:
The books are small, only 145mm square. They are much smaller than a Faber edition I have of The Modulor from the 1960s.
I thought at first that it was a lost opportunity that 145 is not a modulor number, but then discovered that the images printed on the covers are set to 140mm square and 140 is a modulor number.

I would have given the books 5 stars if not for the small size and that they feel just a little too expensive, I think.

After a brief struggle, Fibonacci defeats everyone from Pythagoras to Penrose

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought The Modulor after this book ( The Elements of Typographic Style ), talking about page layout, aroused my curiosity, particularly about the relation between mathematics and page layout.

As a mathematician, my expectations were, of course, never to be fulfilled. The tense relationship between the irrational Golden Section and the integers of the Fibonacci series was never meant to be resolved at the resolutions at which Le Corbusier works.

But as an artist, I found it to be a useful and stimulating tool. Le Corbusier, with a certain amount of what could be described as mathematical insouciance, doesn't mind stretching arithmetic precision by five percent or so, nor adding or subtracting the odd unit, in order to achieve an aesthetic balance.

Treading carefully between the quotes that seemed frequently to be mere self-affirmation, I found, nonetheless, the history of Le Corbusier's work interesting, and the Modulor itself a fascinating and useful tool.

Undoubtedly a strange book, but, for me, worth the read
