Books are our friends. We meet them when we are very small and can't read, but we remember our mother read them for us. We learn very much from books.
Books educate people in different spheres of life. They develop our imagination, make us think and analyse. They help to form our character and the world outlook. Books help us in self education and in deciding problems of life. They make our life more interesting.

Архитекторы должны понимать физические ограничения своей среды. Без понимания конструкции архитекторы не могут понять возможности и ограничения здания. У всех зданий есть несколько общих черт. Среди них - фундаменты, крыши, стены и проемы.
Каждое здание начинается с прочного фундамента. Большинство зданий имеют фундамент на плитах или сваях. Отсюда начинает складываться структура здания. Существует два основных типа строительной конструкции. В прочной конструкции стены поддерживают здание. В каркасной конструкции здание скрепляется легким каркасом.
Архитекторы должны знать разницу между разными типами стен. Несущие стены являются неотъемлемой частью конструкции здания. Архитекторы должны заранее планировать проемы, такие как двери и окна. Ненесущие стены обеспечивают гораздо большую гибкость конструкции. Навесные стены - это внешние ненесущие стены. Навесные стены предоставляют огромную свободу творчества.
