Someone named Li Chieh, in 1103, wrote a book called ‘Methods and designs of Architecture’. This was remarkable because it was the first substantial book in an architect’s office library anywhere. Believe it or not, it established the modular system of planning of building components. It contained large catalogue of lattice designs. It provided a table of spans and spacing for columns and beams. – David Standen.
