Modularity and the Number of Design Choices
Abstract. This paper analyzes one aspect of “modularity” in the architectural literature. Arguments can be made in favor of modularity, but the authors use mathematics to prove their argument against empty modularity. If we have a large quantity of structural information, then modular design can organize this information to prevent randomness and sensory overload. In that case, the module is not an empty module, but a rich, complex module containing a considerable amount of substructure. Empty modules, on the other hand, eliminate internal information, and their repetition eliminates information from the entire region that they cover. Modularity works in a positive sense only when there is substructure to organize.
