      wow I never thought of that lol, I have no idea sorry! words evolve over time, it could be a mis-translation when someone told someone else they were ‘building’ something and pointed to a building and the other person got confused! I would say ask your english teacher 🙂

      A ‘building’ is the noun. Whereas ‘built’ is the past-tense of the verb ‘to build’

      Why it is like that, I don’t know…
