Hi Englishsz This sentence is a bit oddly phrased. The word fabric seems to refer to the underlying structure of society, and the use of the word 'built' before 'fabric' suggests that the sentence is referring to the societal structure that existed (which was destroyed). fabric, definition 2 That's my take.

Built fabric means the flow of materials in a physical context. Say an street with same kind of buildings has that built fabric. It doesnt have to be the same material, but they all should respect each an every material quality in the respective street
