In architecture, construction, engineering, real estate development and technology the word building may refer to one of the following:
In this article, the first usage is generally intended unless otherwise specified.
Buildings come in a wide amount of shapes and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, to land prices, ground conditions, specific uses and aesthetic reasons.
Buildings serve several needs of society – primarily as shelter from weather and as general living space, to provide 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 canvasess of artistic expression. In recent years, interest in sustainable planning and building practices has also become part of the design process of many new buildings.
I made you a building so grand
The stars and the sun just couldn't stand
It towering there, blocking their rays
From everyone walking the streets underneath like a maze
With the heat of your heavy angel-bones
You're holding me still
And now my thoughts have flown
I made you a building so high
I knew you were wrong
But I didn't know why, why
Not out of wires, not with a spoon
I know you don't care but it angers the big giant moon
With the heat of your heavy angel-bones
You're holding me still
And now my thoughts have flown
With the heat of your heavy angel-bones
You're holding me still
And now my thoughts have flown
Now my thought have flown
Now my thought have flown
