A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Is the concept of modular co-ordination 'theoretical' or 'Utopian' as some sceptics allege? Not at all, writes the co-ordinator of CIB working commission W24/IMG, who here outlines its progress over the years, what it is now about and - especially - what it is not. CIB Report No. 68, the modern 'Principles', is seen as the culmination of much earlier work as well as a breakthrough for further international development, notably through its treatment of such difficult aspects as tolerances, building fit and joint sizing. Mr McEvatt is with An Foras Forbartha, of Ireland.
