A design and construction discipline in which building components are dimensioned to fit a common grid module, so that prefabricated elements from different manufacturers align without cutting or improvising on site. It was widely adopted after the Second World War to speed industrialized housing and is written into national and international building standards; the Modulor, the proportional system developed by Le Corbusier, is a well-known architectural take on the same underlying idea.
