Based on 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 system and the Metric system. It is based on the height of an English man with his arm raised. It was used as a system to set out a number of Le Corbusier's buildings and was later codified into two books.
From my understanding, proportion or composition is very important as it can relates to balance and harmony. We as designer have to consider about the composition as it can balance our design. Rhythm/pattern, variety, harmony, proportion/scale, contrast and movement also need to be considered as it is the principle of design.
