Needs

When the architect will do a design needs to consider:

The needs of the people who will be using the building. In this area the architect must consider certain basic needs that the design must meet: Physiological needs. Psychological needs. Sociological needs.

Another need is the structural needs of the building. In this second area the architect must consider different construction elements: Protection. Weight. Comfort. Flow. Distribution.

Finally the context in which the building is placed fits into these categories: Culture. Environment. Connections. Economic.

Moreover, the architect not only has to consider the needs described above, must also be aware that these needs are constantly changing, and many of these changes occur when the architect is still working on the plans and the architect will have to concessions to reach acceptable solutions.
