N2 - Traditionally, Spatial Information Theory and Construction Engineering have been recognized as widely separated fields with only very little connections. However, in recent years the construction industry has undergone a substantial change: It is evolving from rather historic practices based on 2D drawings into modern digital processes based on information-rich 3D models that can be generated, analyzed and processed by means of computer technology. This progression, driven and fostered by the Construction Informatics Community, opens the possibility for innovative research in the fascinating area where Spatial Information Theory and Construction Engineering overlap. The paper gives an overview on ongoing activities in this area.
