Building Types

This is a thourogh course about building systems and types: The term Building Types means or refers to the functional factors in architecture. Buildings are built for practical use (commoditas or utility). Thereare many types of builings which we will talk about in details:

1. Agricultural building
2. Commercial buildings
3. Residential Buildings
4. Educational buildings
5. Government buildings
6. Industrial Buildings
7. Military Buildings

Each of those has its own functional requirements. In other words, each of those buildings types are intimately linked with the meaning of the architecture. However, some buildings are constructed simply to fill a need, while others are merely intended to be memorial tributes. For example, We must understand that the uses of buildings change over time, and it is often instructive to compare current and past uses of a structure and its associated use.
