Linking levels of abstraction of a building design
Abstract This paper explores an approach to linking the different levels of abstraction of a building design to both a product and a process model. The paper first defines an Information Architecture (IA) required to support an integrated approach to providing a facility. The IA is derived from analysis of a process model, the Integrated Building Process Model (IBPM). The Information Architecture identifies and defines in detail, five separate but related classes of information. These are product; process; process control; feedback; and constraint information. The product information is further explored through the development of a Product Model Architecture (PMA). The key design packages developed at the various steps in the process are identified from the process model and are linked at various levels of abstraction to the PMA. Examples of the key design packages and their various product and process links are presented through a case study. In conclusion, data base criteria to support this environment are suggested.
