Needs

==== According to the text "Needs", when making design, the architect must consider three main needs: the needs of the people, the structural needs of the building and the needs that are going to be a product of the eviroment where the building is going to be located. this needs tend to be in constant change, so the building should be flexible enough to adapt to the needs and conditions changing. When we talk about people's needs, we refer to physical, psychological and sociological aspects. The physical needs represent the level of comfort in the design in term of ventilation, light, temperature, etc. and adaptation to the human scale. In the physiological needs we refer to provide security and a positive impact on the ego of the inhabitant. And the sociological aspect, this should reflect the interaction with neighbors and other residents. In the building’s needs, the design must protect at the individual from climate and extreme weather, also must be structurally resistant. And lastly we have the Context’ needs, we refer to the cultural and spatial connections of building with the rest,also connections of services such as electricity, telephone, etc. In conclusion, the architect must consider all these needs in a flexible design that adapts to changing conditions. ====
