Le Corbusier's first publication appeared in 1912 and by 1923 he had already earned worldwide respect and recognition for his architectural manifesto, "Vers une Architecture" (Towards a New Architecture), which remains even today probably the most widely read architectural manifest.
As a result, he received invitations to lecture at universities and architectural schools all over the world. Out of this lecture, publictions followed such as "Urbanisme" (The city of tomorrow) and "Maniere de penser l'urbanisme" (Looking at city planning) and in particular "Le Modulor" which found a wide readership similar to that of "Vers une Architecture".

In the years 1942 to 1948, Le Corbusier developed a system of measurements which became known as "Modulor". Based on the Golden Section and Fibonacci numbers and also using the physical dimensions of the average human, Modulor is a sequence of measurements which Le Corbusier used to achieve harmony in his architectural compositions. Le Modulor was published in 1950 and after meeting with success, Le Corbusier went on to publish Modulor 2 in 1955. In many of Le Corbusier's most notable buildings, including the Chapel at Ronchamp and the Unité d'habitation, evidence of his Modulor system can be seen. These two volumes form an important and integral part of Le Corbusier's theoretical writings.
