Topology as central information in building models

Gielsdorf, Frank & Wolfgang Huhnt

This paper describes an approach where topological information is used as leading information in building product models. Geometry is regarded as a weight of topological information. This concept results in digital models where the number of geometric information is reduced dramatically compared to existing approaches. In addition, topological information is used as the basis for denoting the objects of a building. Thus, a digital model is derived that allows an efficient handling of geometric information as well as a coordinated denotation of the engineering objects.
