This is an informal and elementary introduction to Tits buildings. It starts with the flag complex of a \(3\)-dimensional vector space; later buildings are defined as chamber systems with a kind of metric with values in a Coxeter group. The final section gives many detailed references, often to the books by \textit{P. Abramenko} and \textit{K. S. Brown} [Buildings. Theory and applications. Berlin: Springer (2008; Zbl 1214.20033)] and \textit{M. Ronan} [Lectures on buildings. 2nd updated and revised ed. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press (2009; Zbl 1190.51008)]. | |||

This is an informal and elementary introduction to Tits buildings. It starts with the flag complex of a \(3\)-dimensional vector space; later buildings are defined as chamber systems with a kind of metric with values in a Coxeter group. The final section gives many detailed references, often to the books by \textit{P. Abramenko} and \textit{K. S. Brown} [Buildings. Theory and applications.
