in steel, copper or plastics, or as Kevlar or glass-fibber skins; massive involuted elements designed in data-space become milled, routed or turned elements in wood or aluminium, or cut as moulds for quick-setting resins, rubbers or modular pattern, asterios agkathidis metals. Bridging the boundaries between the real-technical and the virtual-technical, firmLITERATURE ware will favour a far more malleable relation- - Berger, E., ed. (1986) Parthenon-Kongress Basel, 2 ship between bits, space and matter.” Vols, Mainz: Philipp von Zabern In this spectrum of rapid transition, the understanding of modules as identical physical objects seems to be meaningless. Never before was the call for standardisation in a globalised world stronger than it is now. Could modularity today be defined as an elational parametric set that determines the variation of different elements? Could modularity ever constitute a common set of rules by which any module can be determined? Is a module essential in order to allow control of the design process, production techniques and efficiency in construction?
