- About
This wiki covers the MCorp co-location intelligence research, regional market methodology, and related geospatial analysis. Editorial decisions are…
- AEC interface conventions
The four universal interface conventions — spatial tree, properties panel, 3D viewport, and view navigator — that all BIM authoring tools implement, providing shared vocabulary for consistent cross-tool coordination surfaces.
- AEC muscle memory and interface patterns
The Building Design System adopts established interface patterns from industry-standard tools to ensure zero learning curve for AEC practitioners, while enabling facility management workflows through work-order linking, lease integration, and sensor overlays.
- Architecture
Art and technique of designing and constructing buildings, from Vitruvius's triad of durability, utility, and beauty to contemporary practice.
- Art Deco
Decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s — geometric ornament, stepped massing, rich surface materials — defining downtown commercial streets in North American secondary cities.

- Backwards method — sizing buildings from furniture
The Building Width Calculator inverts conventional office planning by deriving building width from actual furniture dimensions — desk, exam table, lab bench, courtroom bench — rather than fitting tenants into a predetermined structural grid.
- Baroque Architecture
Highly decorative and theatrically dramatic architectural style originating in early 17th-century Italy that spread across Europe and its colonies — defining the civic and ecclesiastical building fabric of most major European city centres between approximately 1600 and 1750.
- Barrie–Innisfil Regional Market
Mid-sized Ontario market north of the Greater Toronto Area with strong retail infrastructure and rapid population growth.

- Bielefeld Regional Market
Eastern North Rhine-Westphalia commercial hub with a healthcare and professional services base anchored by a major hospital cluster and the University of Bielefeld.
- BIM design philosophy
AEC-specific design extension anchored to IFC 4.3, translating flat-file storage, open standards, and offline-first execution into a professional BIM toolset.
- BIM market context and regulatory landscape
Government BIM mandates across key jurisdictions, ISO 19650 and IFC as global defaults, and the UK Golden Thread's demand for portable digital building records.
- BIM objects — substrate
BIM Objects anchor to the IFC 4.3 entity hierarchy, Uniclass 2015 classification, and bSDD URIs, organizing into eight primitive categories that encode spatial, elemental, material, assembly, system, performance, and climate-zone specifications.
- BIM objects — three composition layers
BIM Objects embed three simultaneous constraint layers — Specification (permanent element identity), Regulation (jurisdiction-specific requirements), and Climate Zone (performance requirements) — as static reference data with a composition rule that applies the more restrictive value.
- BIM objects — what they are
BIM Objects are composable built-environment specification units that encode element type, regulatory requirements by jurisdiction, and climate zone performance requirements, pre-constraining the design space so non-compliant configurations cannot be placed.
- BOMA Standard
The Building Owners and Managers Association measurement standard for commercial floor area, used as the common measurement basis for Woodfine lease areas and building comparisons.
- Building design system for the built environment
A design-system platform for the built environment organized into eight BIM Object primitive categories and ten universal AEC interface components, providing shared specification vocabulary for independent authoring surfaces to coordinate without introducing new learning surfaces.

- Classical Architecture
Architectural tradition derived from ancient Greek and Roman principles — symmetry, column orders, proportion, and formal composition — that dominated Western institutional and commercial construction from the Renaissance through the early 20th century.
- Cluster Deduplication Threshold
The co-location index pipeline deduplicates overlapping clusters that represent the same commercial zone using a 150-metre threshold, retaining the cluster with the higher secondary operator count. A prior 500-metre threshold was found to suppress legitimately distinct commercial nodes in dense suburban corridors.
- Co-location Anchors
Large-format national retailers whose verified presence within defined proximity thresholds is the binary qualifying criterion for commercial node inclusion.
- Co-location Cluster Formation
