Property of Property	Property Domain
BP11.1 in the mode of: E55 Type	BP11 is connected to

B1 Built Work
SubClass Of:
	E92 Spacetime Volume E24 Physical Human-Made Thing	E92 E24
SuperClass Of:
	B2 Morphological Building Section	B2
Scope Note:
	This class comprises instances of man-made things such as freestanding buildings, components of buildings, and complexes of buildings. It refers to man-made environments, typically large enough for humans to enter, serving a practical purpose, being relatively permanent and stable (AAT). Instances of built works are composed of parts that share an aspect of role, which often perform a distinct function.
Examples:
	The Bishop’s Palace The ruins of Loropéni The Coliseum
In First Order Logic:
	-
Properties:
	-

B2 Morphological Building Section
SubClass Of:
	B1 Built Work	B1
SuperClass Of:
	B3 Filled Morphological Building Section	B3
Scope Note:
	This class comprises instances of man-made things that are considered functional units for the whole building (e.g. rooms, foundations, roof, and so forth). A B2 is a geometric feature with volume and is a Spacetime Volume (E92). A B2 is composed of (P46) parts that are completely filled with matter (B3 Filled Morphological Building Section), which confines (AP12) empty spaces (B4 Empty Morphological Building Section) that are the result of the intentional disposition of a set of B3.
Examples:
	The western wall of the Cathedral The corner tower The battlements of the palace perimeter
In First Order Logic:
	-
Properties:
	BP1 is section of (has section): B1 Built Work BP11 is connected to: B2 Morphological Building Section

B3 Filled Morphological Building Section
SubClass Of:
	E24 Physical Human-Made Thing B2 Morphological Building Section	E24 B2
SuperClass Of:
	-	-
Scope Note:
	This class comprises instances of man-made things that are completely filled with matter. Instances of Filled Morphological Building Section are components of the functional units of a built work. These elements like walls, floors and ceilings have properties such as dimensions, material etc. The intentional disposition of a set of B3 defines portions of space that are completely void, e.g. a window, a doorway and so forth.
Examples:
	The ionic columns of the portico The walls that surround a room
In First Order Logic:
	-
Properties:
	-

B4 Empty Morphological Building Section
SubClass Of:
	S20 Rigid Physical Feature	S20
SuperClass Of:
	-	-
Scope Note:
	This class comprises identifiable features that are physically attached to particular physical objects. Instances of B4 Empty Morphological Building Section are components of the functional units that form a built work.
Examples:
	of B4 are the empty spaces that are formed by their surrounding walls, floors and ceiling. Empty spaces are fundamental elements in modelling environments like BIM that need to have explicit space objects where the spaces are formed by the surrounding objects (Underwood et al. 2009). Instances of B4 are portions of the space resulting from the intentional disposition in the space of a set of Filled Morphological Building Sections. The void space must be intentionally obtained to serve a function for the building. The intercolumniation of a portico The Gate of Felicity of Topkapı Palace The compluvium of the roof of a Roman Domus The portico of the Temple of Ercole Vincitore (B1) is composed of columns (B3) that confine (AP12) the intercolumniation (B4)
In First Order Logic:
	-
Properties:
	-

B5 Stratigraphic Building Unit
SubClass Of:
	A2 Stratigraphic Volume Unit	A2
SuperClass Of:
	-	-
Scope Note:
	This class comprises instances of physical things that represents the minimal construction unit of a built work. The B5 Stratigraphic Building Unit is a constituent part of a B2 Morphological Building Section. The Stratigraphic Building Unit (B5) represents a single evidence of human activity intentionally performed on the building: e.g. the presence of mortar, vestments or any of the discontinuities of matter that can be observed on a wall surface. The term constituency is used within the model with the meaning: “the status of being a constituent part”. Instances of Stratigraphic Building Unit are, for example, a single wall or the various architectonic components that constitute the Morphologic Building Section.
