granular modulor lattice
Le Corbusier’s Modulor is a proportional system he developed during the design of he Unite d’Habitation in Marseille after WWII. Based on the height of the ‘ideal man’, 2.26 meters, it divides the body between the navel, the head and the raised arm. The resulting proportional measurements are 1130, 698 and 432. This exercise utilizes the Modulor along with two keywords describing material formation and quality. Granular and Lattice. All dimension, both the 'granular’ unit and the over all form, employ the Modulor ratio, while the twisting of the form creates the crossing action of a traditional lattice. The granular units are also scaled using the Modulor proportion. The three sets of scaled granulars are also quantified according to the Modulor proportion.
