 —buildingless,  adj.

  2. anything built or constructed.
  3. the act, business, or practice of constructing houses, office buildings, etc.
 [1250-1300; ME byldinge. See BUILD, -ING1]
 Syn. 1. BUILDING, EDIFICE, STRUCTURE refer to something built. BUILDING and STRUCTURE may apply to either a finished or an unfinished product of construction, and carry no implications as to size or condition. EDIFICE is a more formal word and narrower in application, referring to a completed structure, and usually a large and imposing one. BUILDING generally connotes a useful purpose (houses, schools, business offices, etc.); STRUCTURE suggests the planning and constructive process.
