| summary |
The everyday understanding of space may be self-evident and
unproblematic. 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 of controversy and misunderstanding. To
some, space is the emptiness in which things are embedded, i.e.
something immaterial. To others, space has no separate existence but is
a property of the material world. Still, according to both views, space can
be experienced. In this paper we analyse some influential work within
building classification and building product modelling and criticise these
for applying a concept of space without factual reference. We explore the
ontological foundations for the concept of space, and conclude that
space is an aspect view on things; depending on the view, it may be seen
both as a property of things and as a thing in itself. Finally we show how
construction space can be represented as an object in a conceptual
schema for computer based space information. |
