COORDINATION
Modular Coordination WD
What is
modular
coordination
(MC)?
principal aim
to achieve
dimensional compatibility
between building dimensions,
span, or spaces
and the sizes of components or
equipment
by using related
modular dimensions

Component
A building product formed as a distinct unit.
Modular Component
A component whose coordinating sizes are modular.
Element
A part of a building or structure having its own functional identify,
such as a footing, a floor, a roof, a wall or a column.
Modular Element
An element whose coordinating sizes are modular.
Preferred Dimension
A dimension chosen in preference to others for specific purposes.
Preferred Size
A size chosen in preference to others for specific purposes.

Cross walls and structural frames (beam and column)
are placed according to two alternatives:INTERAXIAL PLANNING (Alternative 1)
the structural part of the component is placed at
the axis between two modular reference planes
spaced at 3M apart.

BOUNDARY PLANNIG (Alternative 2)
the structural part of the component is placed
between a technical coordination space (not
necessarily modular because of technical or
economic reasons)
