Erisuuriin
Erisuuriin is a term used in theoretical discussions of scalable systems to describe a pattern in which components vary in size across a hierarchy while maintaining consistent proportional relationships. This enables modules to be interchanged or composed at different scales without losing functional or visual coherence, making it useful as a design principle in cross-scale applications.
Etymology and scope: The word is a coined term drawing on Finnish morphemes eri- meaning different and
Applications: In architecture and urban design, erisuuriin describes typologies in which room modules or facade units
Criticism and limitations: Some scholars view erisuuriin as a useful heuristic but not a universal rule, noting
