Abstract

A composition system is developed within a rectilinear grid from a vocabulary of quintessential architectural components: the column, the wall, and the floor/roof component. Sets of modules 30 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm and multimodules 120 cm × 120 cm × 150 cm are formed from combinations of these components. Formation rules govern the three-dimensional assemblage of the modules and multimodules to form a hierarchy of architectural compositions. The modules, the multimodules, and the formation rules are all characterized by Boolean representation.
