A young child might describe it as a Big house that people either live or work in.
Google will tell you that a building is 'a structure with a roof and walls, such as a house or factory'.
A scientist might tell you that it is a functioning body which acts against the fundamental forces of the world, to serve as a dwelling for human beings...
Okay, they probably wouldn't say that.
However, if you ask Scot Horst (Senior Vice President, LEED, U.S. Green Building Council), he will give you a more eloquent definition: 'a Building is a collection of systems that creates a whole; it is an organism. Similar to the human body, each system has a different role, but they all must work together so that the body can perform. One system cannot operate properly without the other.'
You can tell if someone is passionate about their work, if they compare it to the natural performing beauty of God's creation.
