the trunc. octahedrons in the center are a structural skeleton which works like a pipe in which the access structure can find place. The trunc. icosahedrons represent semipublic courts from which you can enter the dodecahedrons. The dodecs are multiple branches starting at the same starting-point, so if there are only a few of them they can be linked to only one eg. 'flat' or one branch of dodecs can represent a corridor. In the section I marked the starting-points in green.

So each modular unit represents a room, or part of a corridor?

The floor plan is taken from habitat 67. The connection is that habitat although it looks chaotic has an internal order and creates mass by mirroring itself. My structure picks up the idea of repeating itself but does this by copy-rotation. You can see it better in this picture.

Very interesting.
What is the connection between that floor plan with these modules?
