Please comment, if the word/term infrastructure can be used to make a reference to building Structure, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Etc. Has anyone use the term infrastructure in this way in describing architectural support system? Is it correct or not? Any comment will be appreciate it
In my experience, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc. are commonly referred to as "utilities" when describing or defining their functions in context or in reference to building design. Structural is commonly associated with the construction aspect. Altogether, they comprise the engineering support system of an architectural building design.
The main sources or channels of these utilities, including the building(s), highways and bridges, transportation, power, waste management, etc. and the larger development (i.e. a city) it supplies is basically what you call the infrastructure. Hope that made sense for you otherwise there's google search to correct me if I'm wrong. Haha!
