Unit 3: Structure in Architecture

 

 

Structure is the part or parts of a building that actually hold it up and give it its shape

The structural elements of a building (the walls, the frame, the foundation) are the parts that hold it together, as opposed to elements that enclose or decorate it. Structural elements cannot be removed without damaging the strength and shape of the building.
