Structure

Structure is a fundamental and sometimes intangible notion covering the recognition, observation, nature, and stability of patterns and relationships of entities. From a child's verbal description of a snowflake, to the detailed scientific analysis of the properties of magnetic fields, the concept of structure is an essential foundation of nearly every mode of inquiry and discovery in science, philosophy, and art. Structures built by humans are broadly divided into categories because of their varying design approaches and standards: • Residential buildings • Commercial buildings and complexes • Industrial buildings, sites and installations • Civil constructions • Network infrastructure constructions
