Oddly (or amusingly??) I have to agree with your artist. To me a modular
design is one that is self-integrating. If you glue it together then this
essential element of what modular means (in origami) is lost. Technically I
would then consider it a glued multi-piece arrangement rather than a modular
assembly.
There used to be an old argument that it was ok to glue modulars together
when they were to be used for exhibition ... in order to improve their
durability ... but I hope that is long lost.
I've changed the title to this thread btw.
