Design Rationale: Choice of Module Scale
1. This module allows the generalization of environmental and planning
characteristics at a scale compatible with mechanical and structural
considerations.
2. This module can be manipulated to achieve various configurations while
functional and environmental capability remain constant.
711.2.4
Each module scale option: activity, room or functional unit, generates a
level of need which must be satisfied by the building system. The
functional unit scale has been selected as the major "building block" for
the system. Only at this scale can one deal with problems of service
distribution, structure, fire safety, and configuration.
