The document discusses the components of a building. It can be divided into two parts: the sub structure and super structure. The sub structure is the portion below ground and the super structure is above ground. Some key components include the foundation, plinth, walls, columns, floors, doors, windows, stairs, roof, building finishes, and building services. Each of these components serves an important structural or functional purpose in the building.

to all aspects needed to design any
residential space, say it aspect ,
prospect , anthropometrics and
ergonomics, ventilation , daylighting
, orientation.

ground is known as sub structure and the portion
above the ground is termed as super structure. The
Components of a building can be broadly
summarized as under:
1. Foundations
2. Plinth
3. Walls
4. Columns
5. Floors

1.Foundation: It is the lowest part of a structure
below the ground level which is in direct contact
with the ground and transmits all the dead, live
and other loads to the soil on which the structure
rests.
2. Plinth: The portion of the building between the
ground surrounding the building and the top of
the floor immediately above the ground is known
as plinth.
3. Walls : Walls are provided to enclose or divide
the floor space in desired pattern. In addition,
walls provide privacy, security and give protection
against sun, rain, cold and other adverse effects of
weather.
4. Column: A column may be defined as an
isolated vertical load bearing member.
5. Floors: Floors are flat supporting elements of
building. They divide a building into different
levels .

secured in an opening left in a wall to provide
usual means of access to a building room or
passage..
7. Windows: A window may be defined as an
