The practice of architecture emphasizes【C1】______ relationships, orientation, the support of activities to be carried out within a designed environment, and the arrangement and【C2】______ rhythm of structural elements, as opposed to

    Building construction is techniques and industry involved in the assembly and erection of structures. Early humans built primarily for shelter, using simple methods.

Traditional bearing-wall and post-and-beam systems eventually gave【C7】______  to framed structures, and builders became adept at sealing and fireproofing with a variety of claddings (exterior coverings) and finishes. Steel-framed buildings are usually enclosed by【C8】______  walls. In modern-day construction,【C9】______ the skeleton of the building is only the beginning; specialists then begin the bulk of the work inside, installing plumbing, electrical wiring, HVAC (heating,【C10】______ , and air-conditioning), windows, floor coverings, plasterwork, moldings, ceramic tile, cabinets, and other features.
