Structure and spatial consistency of network-based space layouts for building and product design

Operations on network-based space layouts for modeling multiple space views of buildings

“…In general, spatial consistency refers to the correctness and accuracy of spatial data [54]. A spatially consistent layout meets certain constraints on spatial relations between le's [8]. For example, no pair of whole spaces in a layout may overlap, or each subspace must be contained in a whole space.…”

“…For example, no pair of whole spaces in a layout may overlap, or each subspace must be contained in a whole space. An inconsistency resolution operation that evaluates spatial constraints to identify and resolve spatial inconsistencies in layouts is described in [8]. Inconsistencies are resolved interactively by users or automatically based on pre-defined rules.…”

“…Concepts are reviewed in the following. For a detailed description, the reader is referred to [8]. The schema for network-based space layouts incorporates aspects of existing space schemas [45,14,46,2].…”

“…For example, a layout operation expression may be defined to generate an indoor climate control layout from an architectural layout. We use an existing schema for network-based space to represent space layouts [8]. In a network-based space layout, spatial relations between layout elements are explicitly modeled as a directed, weighted graph or network.…”

An Evacuation Efficiency Contribution Index of Public Building's Space Models

“…These space can be used to create a complex architecture by separating and dividing, convergence with the transition, comparing with the change in the axis, repeating with reproduction, guidance and hinted penetration, circulation, order and sequence techniques and so on. These studies focused on spatial form [5], the function [6], the behavior of [7], and even space integration [8]. In the aspect of evacuation of building space, Zheng summarized all building evacuation simulation methods [9].…”
