Needs


 * Needs**

In order to design a building an architect needs to keep in mind the needs that are going to appear while he or she is developing a plan. He or she has to consider these three areas of needs the people that are going to be on that building, the structure of the building, the context where the building is placed. As the time passes by, while the architect is still working in the project, this needs keep changing so he or she has the goal to come up with a suitable solution.

- __ People: __ the architect must be adequate in terms of light, water, temperature, waste, also he or she needs to take care of bringing a sense of security and harmony providing enough space and comfort so the client can interact with others and have its privacy too.

- __ Building: __ the structure of the building must resist extremes, such as its own weight with all the things it has inside, fires, earthquakes, hard weather, keeping a proper internal distribution so the comfort of the client still being a priority.

- __ Context: __ the building can´t be isolated from its surroundings and must be connected with the transport, phone lines, electricity and all the other outside channels in that area.

In conclusion, we could say that the goal of every architect is to create and design buildings that satisfy must of the needs which are directly connected with people.

 @Andres_Bastidas: are you agree with -Ching about the needs in the architecture?

 luis_0686: yes, I´m agree with ching, the architect must consider the basic needs that the design will fulfill

 luis_0686: physiological, psychological, and sociological

 @Andres_Bastidas: of course Luis, I agree with you but those are needs about the people don’t forget the needs of the building and the context

 luis_0686: You are right all these needs are important to the elaboration of an architectural project

 luis_0686: Andres, that needs mentioned by ching are most important to you?

 @Andres_Bastidas: I think that all of them are important, but maybe you have to be more aware of the people because they are the users of the building and the spaces are designed to them

 luis_0686: You are right; to facilitate the design must take into account all these needs

 luis_0686: if you are important to people, for me it is the context as to make people feel identified with the project.
