" ¿What is Modular Architecture?
Modular Architecture can be understood as the design of any system composed of basic components (modules) that can be connected, in most cases through interlocking.
The basis of modular architecture is that modules can be added, taken off, or replaced without affecting the rest of the system. Therefore, repetition is one of the key characteristics of modular systems. There is also a need for an open plan, which works as a flexible scenario where modules can be arranged in different combinations. 1
The opposite of a modular architecture is an integrated architecture, in which no clear divisions exist between components. The scales of modular architecture can go all the way from tiling and furniture to city blocks or a complete urban plan. Although the concept of Modular Architecture was adopted at the beginning of the XX century, its actual origins can be traced not only far back in history, but also everywhere around the world. ..."
