Needs

When an architect is going to design a building he has to consider three areas of needs: the people that are going to be on that building, the structure of the building and the context where the building is placed. This needs are constantly changing and getting in conflict so the architect has to think of that and create solutions for a balanced building.

Talking about these needs we have on first place the people whose going to occupy the building. The basic things that the architect needs to care about are the feeling of tranquility, balance and harmony with the environment's elements like the light or the breeze and also has to create a place that supports the psychologycal balance bringing the sense of safety and security as well as the building must reflect the needs of that people.

On second place we have the structure of the building itself which has to be distributed and design on the good way so he can support his own weight. It's important too that the architect considers the lighting and the movement of people inside the building.

Finally, on third place we have the context where the building is placed. The architect must consider the culture of that place wich includes the historical, political and religious matters, also he or she has to provide a place where the basic services are working like electrical power sources or telephone lines.

Concluding, we can say the the mission of the architect is to creat buildings that fulfill several needs wich are directly conected with people and their needs.
