In the world around us everything alive or not alive have its oven beginning and ending. The period between ending and beginning we can name as the period of existence or the period of life. We can use this abstract-philosophic statement about life period for all buildings and structures people has ever made. Some of buildings and structures made by humanity existed by ages and centuries, but other ones existed not for a long time and can disappeared from the face of the earth under the influence of set of outside and inside destructive factors.
