Needs

When an arquitect is given the task of designing, he has to take into consideration three fundamental things, first we have the client needs, and we are not only talking about the need to provide him a shelter, but an habitable space that is design in a way that fits the human scale, and provides good light, water, temperature and waste disposal, also we have to consider the human need to feel that he lives and works in a safe place with privacy and where he can interact with other human beings. In second place we have the building needs itself of protecting everithing that resides inside of it with a good structure that can stand extreme situations like earthquakes and fires, but also with a good distribucion of the space with confortable characteristics. And finally we have to take into consideration the context needs because a building has to respond coherently to its sorroundings. However as time passes this needs oftenly tend to change and vary and a really good planned design must take this under consideration to become a really succesful arquitecture because a building must be built with the intention of keeping its place for a very long time.
