Ross

I believe the answer is:

semi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'type of building' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'mies in a tizz' is the wordplay.
'mies' can be anagrammed to 'SEMI'.
Though, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'putting' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for semi that I've seen before include "Prefix meaning half (4)" , "The next to final round" , "One of two houses with a common wall" , "Articulated lorry (US)" , "A whole house (or half?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
