Needs

There are three areas of need that the architect must consider to create a design: the needs of the people, the structure and the context. The needs of the people who will be using the building are categorized in physiological, psycological and sociological needs. The structure of the building must be directed to the safety and comfort of the people, preventing from any disaster or inconvenient. Finally the context in wich the building is placed must be choosen by being aware of the dominant culture in the area, its sourrandings, flexibility, conections and it should be economically feasible.

This categorization of needs help us understand what the architect should keep in mind at the time of designing a building, house or any living space because architecture is all about creating spaces that will satisfy and reguard the people who will be using it.
