Structures are found everywhere in nature and manmade environments from "summary" of Structures by J. E. Gordon

Structures are ubiquitous in our world, existing not only in manmade environments but also in the natural world. Everywhere we look, we can observe structures that serve specific functions and provide support for various purposes. From the intricate network of veins in a leaf to the towering skyscrapers in a city skyline, structures are essential components of our surroundings. In nature, structures are often the result of evolutionary processes that have optimized the form and function of living organisms. The wings of a bird, for example, are specifically designed to enable flight, with a lightweight yet sturdy structure that allows for efficient movement through the air. Similarly, the skeletal system of a human body is a complex structure that provides support and protection for vital organs. In manmade environments, structures are caref...
