 | | A building is usually a human-created object composed of more than a single element, permanently fixed to the ground, that mediates one or more aspects of the environment. |
 | | Buildings may be as simple as a lone roof providing shelter from the rain for a single occupant, or as complex as a hospital regulating temperature, air flow, light, gas content, bacteria movement, particle flow, pressure, and people movement and activities. |
 | | In computer programming, building is the process by which source code is converted by computer into executable object code. |
