Concept in Definition ABC

The term building is used to define and describe all those constructions made artificially by human beings with different but specific purposes. The buildings are works that the human being designs, plans and executes in different spaces, sizes and shapes, in most cases to inhabit them or use them as sheltered spaces. The most common and widespread buildings are residential buildings, although they also fall under the this group other buildings such as temples, monuments, shops, buildings from engineering, etc.

One of the basic characteristics of the building is that it is a work that is built artificially in a certain space. This means that we cannot find buildings in nature, they are always the product of inventiveness and human execution. Buildings, on the other hand, require a complex system of planning, design and execution, needing to invest a certain amount of time, capital and material in its realization (amounts that vary according to the complexity of the building).

Depending on the use that is given to the building, different will be the procedures from building. At the same time, in the case of those buildings used for housing or the performance of certain activities of the human being will also involve the emergence of buying and selling systems, while other buildings such as monuments do not usually require such operations.

Among the different types of buildings we can find those of the type rural (such as stables, farms, silos, basements), those of a commercial type (hotels, banks, businesses, restaurants, markets), those of a residential type (apartment buildings, private houses, nursing homes, condominiums), kind cultural (schools, institutes, libraries, museums, theaters, temples), government (municipality, parliament, police or fire stations, prisons, embassies), industrialists (factories, refineries, mines), those of transport (airports, bus or train stations, subways, ports) and public buildings (monuments, aqueducts, hospitals, stadiums).
