Anything you can do, I can do Modulor

When French architect Le Corbusier conceived of the Modulor Man, his intention was to bridge two disparate systems of measurement.  The anthropomorphic juxtaposition of mathematics and anatomy was a classical idea, yet his modern mind required a new interpretation.  This refusal to accept the most basic foundation of design thinking typifies the life and struggles of Corbu.

His inability to mesh this type of analytical genius with fundamental human comfort in his stark and high-modernist buildings remains his greatest failure.  While his imprint on the canon of architecture is unmistakable and his buildings are seminal, they lack to endurance of the classical works that he was attempting to supplant.  Pity, though.  The Modulor Man is so much easier to draw...
