Le Modulor and Modulor 2 [ENGLISH EDITION]

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

need I say more?

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.

thanks!

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

This book is annoyingly tiny. I was expecting something 3-4 times the size of what shipped. Amazon listing should be more clear that it's a pocket-size book. Many illustrations are literally the size of my thumb nail with associated text illegible. Ironic considering the whole purpose of the book is theory on right-sizing things; guess the publishers never read the contents of what they're printing...

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.

Recomendado, excelente libro, muy buen servicio y rapidez en la entrega, gracias

Bella pubblicazione, molto curata nella stampa e nella qualità dell'edizione, arriva in entrambi i volumi con cofanetto rigido, però anche di formato ridotto, quindi bene se non si vuole "un tomo", ma non ci si deve poi aspettare un volume che apparirà poi di spicco nella propria libreria.

Very good size if you have a tiny personal library. It came in a nice box

Seminal work of modern architecture. The proportions of the book, its condition and the content is all the worth it. A must have!

PER CHI AMA L'ARCHITETTURA QUESTO LIBRO E' UN MUST, E' LA STORIA DELL'ARCHITETTURA MODERNA. IMPERDIBILE!
