Understanding the Space Requirements Datasheets

Note

This is a in-depth explanation of the Space Requirements Datasheet.

  • For conceptual explanation of what are Assets & Spaces, please Click Here.
  • To understand conceptually the differences between Requirements & Information, please Click Here.

Space Requirements function similarly to Asset Requirements, but is specifically applied to Spatial elements. They include attribute ranges derived from design rulebooks, along with metadata such as Category, Name, Description, Data Type and Unit of Measure (UoM).

Each requirement is referenced using a unique UUID and ID to ensure traceability across multiple space instances.

The primary purpose is to ensure spatial elements meet expected requirements as per NEOM Design Rulebooks and to validate space instances throughout the design review process.

Datasheet Breakdown

Fig. 1 - Space Requirements Datasheet Breakdown

1. Category & Attribute Requirement at Stage and Sector

The first row contains the category of an attribute for classification purposes. In the Figure 1, the category shown is Identity and these will differ from attribute to attribute.

The following are the existing cateogries:

  • The DB category is for tracking and identification of Spaces within the AII platform.
  • The Parent category tracks the Parent & Child relationships between Assets and Spaces.
  • The Identity category tracks the identity codes, names, and cateogries of a Space.

The second row contains information whether an attribute is mandatory to be filled at the current stage and for the current sector. The values can be either REQUIRED or NOT REQUIRED.

2. Attributes

The first row of Section 2 (as shown in Figure 1) contains the name of the attribute as reflected in the AII platform. The attributes have either the prefix REQ_SPACE to differentiate between Requirements attributes and Information attributes.

The second row contains a text description of the attribute for information purposes.

The third row contains the data type expected for the attribute.

3. Data

The data section will contain the actual records of Space Requirements. i.e., the values of the above described attributes belonging to a single Space Requirement for each line.
