The principal work of Le Corbusier that exemplified the use of the Modulor
was his Unité d’Habitation at Marseilles. It uses 15 measures of the Modulor
to bring human scale to a building that is 140 meters long, 24 meters wide,
and 70 meters high.
Le Corbusier used these diagrams to illustrate the diversity of panel sizes
and surfaces that could be obtained with the proportions of the Modulor.
