Suppose that A is a pointed CW‐complex. The paper looks at how difficult it is to construct an A ‐cellular space B from copies of A by repeatedly taking homotopy colimits; this is determined by an ordinal number called the complexity of B . Studying the complexity leads to an iterative technique, based on resolutions, for constructing the A ‐cellular approximation CW A ( X ) of an arbitrary space X .
