متن کاملThe Qualitative Structure of Built Environments
This paper provides an ontological analysis of built environments. It shows that boundaries are ontologically salient features of built environments and that there are different kinds of boundaries that that need to be considered. It discusses in particular the important role of fiat boundaries. At the level of objects built environments are formed by partition forming objects and populated by ...
