Building: Construction Nonbuilding Structure Building (Disambiguation) Casio Edifice Technical Reasons Building 19

Buildings serve as shelter from weather, provide security and living space, and store belongings. They represent a division between a place of comfort and safety within and a sometimes harsh exterior. Buildings come in different sizes, shapes and functions and have adapted over history based on available materials, weather conditions, land costs, ground issues, specific uses, and aesthetics. Ever since cave paintings, buildings have also been objects of artistic expression, and sustainable practices are now often considered in new building design.

Various examples of buildings throughout history

A building, or edifice, is a structure with a roof and[1] walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as


a house or factory.[1] Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout
history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground
conditions, specific uses, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the term building compare the list of nonbuilding
structures.
Buildings serve several societal needs – primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store
belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical division of the human
habitat (a place of comfort and safety) and the outside (a place that at times may be harsh and harmful).
Ever since the first cave paintings, buildings have also become objects or canvasses of much artistic expression. In recent
years, interest in sustainable planning and building practices has also become an intentional part of the design process of
many new buildings.
