Buildings are structures with roofs and walls, serving various purposes, from housing people to providing space for commerce. They are constructed from materials such as brick, wood, concrete, and steel. They can range in size from small houses to skyscrapers. Buildings are essential for sheltering people and resources from the elements. Their design and construction depend on their function, climate, and location. They reflect culture, technology, and design principles. Buildings shape the urban and rural landscapes.
