The research explores the potential of a computer-aided modeling tool           that allows the building designer and analyst to explicitly specify the         spatial relationships between objects.  The modeling tool would consist         of a set of geometric objects, a set of primitive operations on the             objects, and a language for expressing spatial relationships between            objects.  The environment to support this model would consist of a              database that stores not only the information that describes individual         building elements, but stores the dependency rules for maintaining              spatial relationships between components.  A set of useful spatial              relationships (for example, interferences, tolerances, parallel                 surfaces, and relative orientations) for both design and analysis will          be identified.  Alternate implementation strategies include a                   relational database and a non-procedural language.
