The optimal size of the design module is the key measure of the project and its final choice represents the most responsible move of every architect in the initial phase of his work. The importance that belongs to this original measure is, therefore, decisive for the other measures of the project. And all of them, if possible, should be expressed in whole numbers - with factors of the construction or standard module. At this point it is useful to underline the concise American definition of module:
"The standard module is a unit of 1", used as a standard measurement supplement in the spacing of the standard grid. The standard grid represents a spatial (three-dimensional) orthogonal coordinate system to which all construction measurements, main and detailed, are added.
