List of the largest structures in the world

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page lists the largest structures in the world according to usable area . However, the definition of usable space is only somewhat clearly defined for residential, hotel, office and commercial buildings. For industrial buildings, the general definitions are contradictory. B. Traffic areas should not be included in the usable area, but all areas that correspond to the purpose of the building. In the case of industrial buildings, this can usually hardly be separated, and they often consist of large halls, the areas of which are used in a variety of ways. Since the accessible information on the listed buildings indicates the net floor area rather than the usable area, this should be viewed here as an expanded definition of the usable area.
