plural of building
"The new city plan includes several modern buildings along the riverfront."
In plain English: Buildings are large structures made of materials like brick and concrete that people live in, work in, or use for other purposes.
"The city is full of tall buildings that stretch up to the sky."
Usage: Use buildings to refer to multiple separate structures like houses or offices that exist independently. Do not use this word when you mean a single structure, which requires the singular form building.
Derived from Old French batiement, which comes from Latin aedificium meaning "a house" or "construction." The term originally referred to any structure erected by human hands.
