The output — the base tile dimensions and the aggregation rules — is then fixed for that prototype. When a new deployment of the same prototype class is undertaken, the floor plate is not redesigned; it is reproduced from the fixed tile parameters. This means that equipment and circulation standards embedded in the tile — lighting proximity requirements, circulation clearances, adjacency minimums — carry through to every deployment in the prototype class without re-derivation. The tile is the operational specification of the building's usable space, expressed as geometry rather than prose. ## See also - [[design-sequence-priority]] — why Key Plans and Tiles is fixed before Building Services and Structural design begin - [[common-building-code]] — the washroom-provisioning standard built into the Key Plan by tenant category - [[tile-level-climate-zoning]] — how each tile carries its own climate zone - [[structural-bay-depth-discipline]] — why the structural grid follows the tile, not the reverse - [[fixed-floor-plates]] — the floor plate dimensions this system derives
