The concept of volumetric spaces has evolved in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector, ranging from traditional onsite built spaces to modern modular houses and portable architecture. Despite this diversity, there lacks a comprehensive framework to analyze volumetric space products across dimensions. This paper presents a conceptual framework based on abductive reasoning and qualitative analysis, aiming to explore interdependencies among dimensions. It hypothesizes that volumetric space dimensions are perceived differently and demonstrate interdependencies.
