What is Phenomenologial Foundations of Conceptual Product Modelling in Architecture, Engineering and Construction about?
The ultimate goal of conceptual modelling in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) has been to de®ne the data structures that could be used to describe the entire built environment through all its life cycle stages Ð from inception and design to demolition. In spite of the magnitude and complexity of this task, the theoretical foundations of modelling received little attention. In this paper, the theoretical foundations of the traditional modelling approaches are questioned using phenomenology and hermeneutics as philosophical base. The author exposes the difference between the remodelling of some existing models, the modelling of physical objects and the modelling of psychical, intentional objects. The author concludes that AEC or building product and process models do not model objective reality but the modeller's partial understanding of that reality. Therefore, several correct but different models may and should exist. Future software architectures in AEC should not be built on a uni®ed, centralized model but, on a combination of models, which may not be standardised but whose schemas are encoded in a standard manner.
