Size standardization-coordination
Constructions of space separation
external space separation, façades

Big spaces are covered by big façade and roof surfaces > space separation task
Two solutions: „carpet principle”: the form is covered by „cut off” surface froma homogenous, endless surface – monolithic solutions„tile principle”: the surface is distributed, paved with a number of coordinated elements – prefabricated, pre-assambled, industrialized solutions
„Tile principle” > Size standardization:
When the completing and the placing of the ready-made building elements’ areseparate in time and place
> the coordination of the building material: brick module
Early (ancient) examples - the 15cm brick module has always been present duringthe history of construction
Revealed again by the modern movements:
For improving efficiency- bulk production of great elements: economic, constant- plant production, prefabrication: better quality- less work on the building site, faster building- ability of multiplying- useful for general purpose- reduces the number of elements
But: -high quality detail development-increasing of element size> increasing of weight to lift-uniformity
Wall detail from Babylon round 600 b. C.: millions of bricks
Crystal Palace, London, 1851, Joseph Paxtoncast iron elements, coordinated , moduled dimensions > hierarchy

1/6A=B
1/6B=C
The surface, space is paved, „tiled” with uniform elements.In case they were too big, they will be divided in more parts.The grid is distributed due to the structural hierarchyHowever, the structures are not 0 in extent!
the coordination of the „old” brick: not only the size, the interspace matters as well!

Already on the level of one particular construction (e.g. partition walls) turn up several coordination questions! The question of interspace (tolerance).
The place need of joints (details), the precision of production, place need of placement, thermal expansion!!!, other movements
grid
partition wall
In case of different thickness the task is even more difficult!

overlapping element parts overlapping element parts
The structural hierarchy causes further problems!
The elements of different size are multipliing.
The line of space separation?

The elements of different levels of hierarchy are on different grids.
In which group should be the irregular elements?

The irregular elements are on the lower level>
Less different primary elements are needed
New complications: even the elements of the same level are not homogeneous: coordination of details, layers
And this was only an examination in 2D of a small part of the possible questions...

The modular coordination is senseless for itself
> Size standardization:premise: size-rows that can be theoratically anything >professional common agreement (eg. brick module)
previously the human sizes: inch system, 1 inch, 1 foot, 1 yard stb. 1/12twelve-based size system (today in the USA)
but elsewhere (almost everywhere) the decimal system is generalThe practice has chosen 10 cm for base module.The suggestion of the Hungarian practice (1949-1991)- not contradicting the common western practice – was:base module: 60 cm, expanded module: 300 cm
The result:mainly the coordination of the primary (bearing) structures> prefabrication suiting well the needs en masse,„standard” (6,00-9,00-12,00-18,00m) grids, spanssuiting structural subsystems, products:suspended ceilings, light fittings, floors of elements, building service systems
But: Alvar Aalto: 1 mmLe Corbusier: Modulor 226 cm (golden section)

Flexibility
Size coordination>the possibility to apply replaceble elementsIt aims during design:
changeability,possibility for multipurpose,durability,
through these is heading sustainablitywithout using additional technology equipmentis useful, practical and should be applied!
To reach this:well considered functional order, rational plans > rational buildings less „architectural gestures, forms”, durable materials...
The elements’ size standardization > possibility of replacement didn’t succeed because- of the variaty of sizes and needs- of the producing, storing, coordination of lots of different elements- of developments of different dinamismeffected in the end cost increasing.
Size standardization>flexibility, possibility of rearrangement, replacement

External space separation
Roofs
Façades - the surface to be placed (between) in front of the skeleton structure
Tasks:separation: against wind, rain, safetythermal requirements: thermal insulation: heated
temperated (+5 °C)mechanical tasks: weather loads: wind load
technology loads: machines, equipmentimpacts by accident: hurtling
architectural requirements: openings: lighting, trafficbuilding technology requirements:
possibility of construction, size limitsconstruction time and weather limits
cost requirements: thrift, sustainability„aesthetic requirements”: should be nice and proportional

Ordinary structures of today and of the recent past of non-accentuated tasks:
Light structure space separation:corrugated, or trapezoidal sheet metal (carpet principle)policarbonate, profile glass (basically tile principle)
sandwich panels (tile principle)framed glassed-in constructions (tile principle)
Reinforced concrete based space separation:layered mononithic constructions (eg. Thermo-Mass) (carpet principle)standing and lying panels - usually as sandwich panels (tile principle)
Visible brick masonry:nowadays only layered constructions – pseudo tectonic! (carpet principle)
