Architectural Structures
Architectural Structures
An architectural structure is a free-standing, immobile outdoor construction.
The structure may be permanent. Typical examples include buildings and nonbuilding structures such as bridges, dams, electricity pylons, and radio masts.
Some structures are temporary, built for ephemeral events such as trade shows, conferences or theatre, and often dismantled after use. Temporary structures have fewer constraints relating to future use and durability, and often comprise lightweight forms such as tents, which are quicker to erect, take down, and re-use.
Building versus architectural structure
Building versus architectural structure
Often the words architectural structure and buildings are confused, because in many languages one word covers both. However, a building is a type of upporting and sheltering continuous occupancy or habitation. Buildings are therefore normally enclosed structures, while nonbuilding structures may be open to the environment.
