....However, as soon as we are asked for a formal definition, e.g. in the context of building classification or product modelling, the concept of space is subject to controversy and misunderstanding. To 1 Paper presented at the 15th ECAADE Conference, Vienna, Sep. 17 20, 1997. Authors: Dr Anders Ekholm and Arch.

....In the second case Space is seen as a class equivalent with other construction results. However, since the other Construction results have spatial properties they also may be classified as spaces. This classification breaks the rule that classes of the same rank must be disjoint (Bunge 1977 and Ekholm 1996). A schema that expresses the intention of the ISO standard in a more appropriate way is presented in Fig. 9. Here, a Construction complex, a Construction entity and a Construction entity part are Construction results. Following the principle of the schema in Fig. 7, a 12 Construction entity ....

....models. Yet this role of information models imposes fundamentally more complex requirements on the definition and structure of models, mainly due to the dynamic nature of the process of design. Successful research in relation to this subject is found in the work of Eastman et al. 1991, 1995] and Ekholm and Fridqvist [1995, 1996]. 1.1 DYNAMIC NATURE OF DESIGN One of the main problems that need to be addressed when defining information models for architectural design is caused by the dynamic nature of design. During the process of design, information is not treated as static data, but is invariably subject to change. ....
