From Wikipedia
The Modulor is an anthropometric scale of proportions devised by the Swiss-born French architect Le Corbusier (1887–1965). It was developed as a visual bridge between two incompatible scales, the Imperial and the metric systems. It is based on the height of a man with his arm raised. The Modulor deemed the standard human height to be 1.83 m (6 ft 0 in), excluding feminine measures. The dimensions were refined with overall height of raised arm set at 2.26 m (7 ft 5 in). It was used as a system to set out a number of Le Corbusier's buildings and was later codified into two books.
