The modular did not have to be invented: it can be found
everywhere. We divide surfaces into grids, spaces into parts, and
time into rhythmic units. Modular structures are also increasingly
being recognized as a way of communicating, where the aim is not to
construct a universal principle but to facilitate interplay between
different systems. Building on the visionary design system that
architect Fritz Haller and engineer Paul Scharer developed in 1965
for Swiss furniture company USM, Rethinking the Modular brings
together specially commissioned essays and interviews with leading
designers, architects and thinkers to present the wide-ranging
importance and influence of modular design over the past fifty
years. In revealing the broad possibilities created by balancing
structure with flexibility, the timely publication redefines the
place of modularity in modern design history, and offers a rich
resource for designers today.
