metal structures
Iron-built architectural forms
Metal structures are frameworks, buildings, or other constructions made primarily from metal, typically steel, iron, or aluminum.
The term encompasses everything from bridges and skyscrapers to industrial warehouses and transmission towers.
Metal structures are valued for their strength, durability, and ability to span large distances without intermediate supports.
The metal structures of the old rail yard have been converted into artist studios.
