Le Corbusier - Modulor 2 - 1955

Rare German edition of the famous volume “Modulor 2” by Le Corbusier, published in 1958 by Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt Stuttgart.

A fundamental work in the history of modern architecture and proportion theory, the book represents the continuation of the celebrated “Le Modulor” of 1948, developing Le Corbusier's proportional system based on the human scale, the golden ratio, and architectural harmony.

Volume in German language, richly illustrated with:

* technical diagrams,
* proportional studies,
* modular figures,
* photographs and original typographic plates of the period.

Particularly interesting also from a graphic-editorial point of view, with modernist layout typical of the 1950s.
