The quad next to the Langford Architecture Center buildng A at Texas A&M’s College of Architecture sported a look inspired by the architect LeCorbusier during a final review of student work in a design studio led by assistant architecture professor Gabriela Campagnol.
With a $200 budget per team, students designed and built three full-scale pavilions, with some level of enclosure, based on LeCorbusier’s Modulor system.
The Modulor system, published in 1948, was developed by LeCorbusier based on physical dimensions of the average human with the goal of achieving harmony in his designs. He described the system as a “range of harmonious measurements to suit the human scale, universally applicable to architecture and to mechanical things."
