Appendix 建筑工程常用英語詞匯

The majority of residents in rural and suburban areas live in single-family dwellings.Housingdevelopmentscontainingmany single-family units have been built by professional land developers. Levittown， N.Y.， is a massproduced development that contains homes for more than 60000 people. Since they are mass-produced， development houses tend to be identical or very similar. For the same reason they are usually less expensive than houses that are individually built.
Incrowdedareaswherelandisfairlyexpensive，the semidetached，or two-familyhouseisfrequentlyfound.Ina semidetached house two dwellings share a central wall. Construction and heating are cheaper than in one-family house， but residents have less privacy. Row houses， in which a number of single-family houses are connected by common walls on both sides， are still less expensive to build.
City land is too expensive to be used for small housing units， except in the upper price brackets. A more efficient type of building， which houses many families on a plot of ground that would hold only a few single-family units，is the muhistory miltiple dwelling，or apartment house. Apartment houses may range from houses of only a few stories， without elevators， to structures of 20 or more stories， with several elevators. Some apartment houses offer city dwellers a terrace or a backyard， where they can grow a few plants or eat outdoors.
Many apartment houses provide Laundromats， garage space， and gardened foyers.Huge apartment developments may cover several square blocks and include parks， playgrounds， shops， and community centers.
Two modern ideas in apartment housing are cooperative and condominium apartments. In cooperative housing all tenants together form a corporation.Each tenant owns the right to occupy his apartment by virtue of having bought shares in the corporation and by paying his share of charges for building maintenance， service， and repair.
