researching and modelling : walden7: “sliding” or “tectonic abacus”

unit-level analysis of modules / modularity — modularity in planning, but not in building;

where some elements stay fixed, the modules could be considered to be “sliding” on these elements in plan,

here, model is representing levels 8 and 9 at 1:75 scale, and could be aggregated and re-aggregated to

display any residential level plan of the building and, even more, many common residential building typologies
