Modularity is the level of adaptability in the use of a space and the ease in which it and its furniture systems can be rearranged over time. MMoser Associates, a design firm who contributes to workplace research, proposes that there are always typical "building blocks" in a space, ranging from very small to large. This is shown in the diagram below.
If we look at one "building block" for a moment, look how modular furniture can adapt to a variety of work space environments in just one space.
