Paving module: One set of dimensions throughout

An urban paving area constructed with a single modular system. All paving units are multiples of the same basic module—for example, using thirty centimeters as the base module, deriving sixty, ninety, and one hundred twenty-centimeter long planks. Different areas use different sizes and arrangement directions, but the joints always align. Planter boxes, drainage ditches, manhole covers, and seating are all positioned on this grid, with no need for any irregular cuts. Thus, while the ground has variation, it is extremely neat. One corner of the image shows a comparison with a non-modular approach: numerous irregularly cut paving pieces, manhole covers spanning joints, and misaligned lines. Avoid: making the two similar, having irregular cuts in the correct version, positioning facilities off the grid, or using too many types of paving materials.

一片以單一模矩系統構成的都市鋪面。所有的鋪面單元都是同一套尺寸的倍數關係——例如以三十公分為基本模矩,衍生出六十、九十與一百二十公分的長條板;不同的區域使用不同的尺寸與排列方向,但接縫永遠對齊。植栽槽、排水溝、人孔蓋與座椅的位置全部落在這套網格上,沒有一處需要切割成畸零的形狀。因此地面雖然有變化卻極為整齊。畫面的一角以沒有模矩的做法作對照:大量被切成不規則形狀的鋪面、人孔蓋橫跨接縫、線條彼此不對齊。避免:讓兩者相似、在正確版本出現畸零的切割、讓設施的位置偏離網格、使用過多種類的鋪面材料。
