19.5 x 19.5cm. Hardcover with dustjacket, 243pp. The second UK edition of the seminal architect's proposal of a scale of measurement, compared in the foreword to a musical scale, based on harmonic proportions. From Le Corbusier's new foreword: "The first edition [1948] of the Modulor was sold out very quickly. The Modulor has had a friendly reception throughout the world. Architects everywhere have recognized in it, not a mystique, but a tool which may be put in the hands of creators of form, with the simple aim, as Professor Einstein has put it so well, of 'making the bad difficult and the good easy'". Top of jacket has 3cm closed tear, spine slightly slanted. Previous owner's names inked on front endpaper. Otherwise good.
