In the designing of a complex building form it is crucial to create a framework,or modular grid,for an organized development of the plans.This unit of measure,and armature for planning,is vital for establishing order during the progress of the design.It is also useful for the coordination of plan with elevations,inherently providing a rhythm to the structure.It is an indispensable method for facilitating communication with the builder at the end of the design process,and provides a base for systemization which can significantly reduce cost.All the buildings designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners have been structured by a module,shaped and sized to the particular needs of the building design.For the East Wing of the National Gallery,the module was a triangle.For the Johnson Museum it is a 4'-6" square.For example,the vertical slot window in the tower is 4'-6" wide,the piers supporting the cantilevered fifth floor are 13'-6" wide,and the great opening defining the lobby is 45' wide.
