When we think of a "Building," we see something tall with a roof, walls, and rooms. In a broader sense, however, a structure is physically formed depending on sands, water, bricks, concrete metal, cement types, and metals.
According to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), a building is a structure that comprises two or more outside stiff walls and a wholly fastened roof attached to a permanent location.
Consider a factory or a house. It is a construction with walls and a roof that stands more or less permanently in one location. Buildings provide various societal functions, including providing shelter, living space, privacy, security, storing resources, and providing a workplace.
