Architectural module - kenchiku module (English spelling) architectural module

Japanese: 建築モデュール - けんちくモデュール(英語表記)architectural module
Architectural module - kenchiku module (English spelling) architectural module
A basic unit of measurement for determining the size of architectural components or architectural space, or a set of such measurements. Adjusting the dimensions of a building and its components using architectural modules is called modular coordination (or modular division). In the past, the general interpretation was that it played a role in determining the proportional relationship between the dimensions of each part of a building, but the term only came into widespread use after World War I, and especially after World War II, when the industrialization of architecture began to take hold.

Japanese:
建築を構成する部材ないしは建築空間の大きさを決める際に基本となる寸法の単位,またはそのような寸法の集合。建築モデュールによって建築および構成部材の寸法を調整することをモデュラーコオーディネーションmodular coordination(またはモデュール割り)という。 古くは建築各部の寸法の比例関係を定める機能を果たしたとするのが一般的な解釈であるが,むしろこの言葉が広く用いられるようになったのは,建築の工業化が現実に進展し始めた第1次世界大戦以降,とくに第2次世界大戦以後のことである。
