modèler

Modüler is a Turkish adjective meaning modular, used to describe systems designed from discrete, interchangeable units called modules. The central idea of modularity is to separate a complex object into parts that can be developed, tested, replaced, or upgraded with minimal impact on the whole, while coordinating through well-defined interfaces.

Modüler design emphasizes decoupling, clear responsibilities, and composability. Each module encapsulates a portion of functionality and can interact with others via standardized inputs, outputs, or APIs. This approach supports scalability, maintainability, and reuse, as modules can be mixed, matched, or extended without reworking the entire system.

In practice, modüler concepts appear in software engineering (modular programming, libraries, plugins, and microservices), architecture and construction (prefabricated modular buildings), and consumer products (modular furniture and electronics with swappable components). In urban planning, modular strategies enable phased deployment and scalable growth.

Common advantages include faster development cycles, easier maintenance, cost efficiency over time, and greater adaptability to changing requirements. Challenges involve designing robust interfaces, defining module boundaries, ensuring compatibility across versions, and managing supply chains or dependencies between modules.

Origin-wise, modüler is a direct loan from the English "modular" and is widely used in Turkish technical and architectural discourse.
