Looking at a diverse range of techniques and building types that include residential, commercial, civic, educational, medical, industrial, agricultural, and infrastructural uses, these fundamental elements and principles make up the majority of our built environment.

These resources will be constantly growing and expanding over time in an effort to further illustrate and document the many topics and issues related to buildings.
