Abstract
AbstractThe rooms of each building can be interpreted as three-dimensional cells. Borders (sides, edges) of rooms can be identified as the two-, one-, or zero-dimensional boundary cells of the three dimensional cell. The building structures identified as two-, one-, or zero-dimensional cells can be modeled by distinguished geometrical forms, surface-, line-, and point-like bodies. In accordance with the latter, building materials (finished products) can also be considered as surface-, line-, and point-like bodies.The aim of the study is to create compliance between the cell elements and the building structures. It will be done at different levels:– interpretation of relationship between building construction and cells,– interpretation of relationship between building construction and selected bodies,– interpretation the loadbearing's structure using cells,– structure of the surface-construction and the cells,– interpretation building types using cells.In this paper (as part I) the first two items will be studied. The other three cases will be studied in another paper (as part II).

MOTIVATIONThe building can be considered to be decomposed of cells adjacent and placed side by side, as well as onto each other: the sum of cells enclosed by four wall panels and two slab panels (see Fig. 1a) constitute the building
To interpret the relationship between building construction and cells we will concentrate on the loadbearing and spaceseparating building constructions

Summary
The building can be considered to be decomposed of cells adjacent and placed side by side, as well as onto each other: the sum of cells enclosed by four wall panels and two slab panels (see Fig. 1a) constitute the building. When organizing form and space, Ching systematically reviews the possible shapes of different spaces and its space-separating structures He does not speak of a cell or a boundary, but the representation of smaller and larger volumes used in the construction of space and boundaries of it practically advance cellular modeling [6]. The representation of the frames, the trusses and the pillar frame suggest the possibility of describing them with the help of cells [1] In his manual for structural engineers, Silver–McLean–Evens describe the strengths of the more well-known building structures during the case studies.
