Broader concept

Note

  • "The Built Environment hierarchy includes terms for the built and natural environment, covering constructed works and natural landscapes, forming a continuum from the largest natural landscapes and settled areas to the smallest of individual built works. Relation to other hierarchies: The constituent parts of constructed works, such as doors and walls, that extend the continuum at even smaller scale, are found in the Components hierarchy. Concepts may have multiple parents, therefore, in those instances where a concept may logically appear at more than one level of the continuum (e.g., "chapels (rooms or structures)" which may be either single built works or components of a work), it is placed with a preferred parent in the hierarchy containing the smaller scale elements unless factors of common usage, design intent, or historical precedence dictate otherwise, it has a second, non-preferred parent in the other logical hierarchical view (e.g., for "chapels;" with Single Built Works)." (The J. Paul Getty Trust. ‘Built Environment (Hierarchy Name)’)
