Steel is a versatile and durable material that has been used in architecture for many years. It has become popular for building structures because of its strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. Steel is often used in construction projects because it can be shaped into various forms and sizes. In architecture, steel is commonly used for building frames, bridges, and large structures such as stadiums and skyscrapers. It is also used for cladding and roofing in modern buildings, adding a sleek and contemporary look.
