We review theoretical challenges related to space representation, moving from static assumptions of space as simple location, and from critiques of the spatialization of time, to views of lived space as relational simultaneity of multiple durations. We show how these different conceptualizations of space underlie construction management practices, and influence the planning and construction of a cultural center. Our findings suggest that organizational representations of change reflect a separation of time and space as unitary and discrete containers. These representational practices influence how change of planned space is managed.
