Needs



==  **//“ A building is a container for people and things people use “//** ==

// The architect has three areas of need to consider. The first area are the needs of the people, who will be using the building. He has to consider things like: human scale; safety and security; interaction with others, allowing for public space as well as private. //// The second area is the structural needs of the building itself. The architect has to consider different elements for dealing with the needs //// of the building itself. Some of these elements are: protection against the weather; appropriate lighting, good air temperature and adequate circulation; proper internal arrangements for distribution of energy information, and various materials. And the third area is the context in which the building is placed. The building has to respond to the dominant culture of the area; must be economically feasible with changing needs and cannot be isolated from its surroundings. //  // The architect has to work with these three areas together, because a good building has to respond to dynamic needs of the people. //
