CONCLUSION
Building language is professional communication means, which relevant professional designers and customers can understand each design phase more thoroughly. The digital book covers fourteen definitions of terms in three categories: structure, interior, and plumbing system. Although most of the terms here do not belong to the interior design works, we need to be knowledgeable about building systems as a part of the building design team. The words might have different meanings than everyday words, so practicing building language facilitates communication between professions or others.
