WEARABLE MODULAR STRUCTURE Experimenting space is one of the most essential and natural experiences of our existence. We tend to forget it because we consider it so obvious.

However, the question of how we experiment space and how we express this experience is still of interest for researchers, mainly philosophers and architects.

Merleau-Ponty wrote that space is existential and that the existence is spatial[1]. Human being is thus fundamentally related to space... We understand the world, things, others and oneself through our body. The body is at the origin of any signification... by inhabiting space, we create a meaning of space, which is based on our capacity to perceive and on our body. The experience of body is a source of expression of space.

Modularity is the degree to which a system’s components may be separated and recombined.

In architecture, modularity can refer to the construction of an object by joining together standardizied units to form larger compositions.
