4.5.1.3 Spatial Composition

Provision of a spatial structure of the project by aggregating spatial structure elements. The spatial structure is a hierarchical tree of spatial structure elements (site, building, storey, space) ultimately assigned to the project. Composition refers to the relationship to a higher level element (e.g. this storey is part of a building).

The order of spatial structure elements being included in the concept are from high to low level: IfcProject, IfcSite, IfcBuilding, IfcBuildingStorey, IfcSpace. Therefore an spatial structure element can only be part of an element at the same or higher level.
