Needs


 * NEEDS**

Design a project it’s not so easy how some people think. When an architect is designing a project, has to deal with different situations. Those situations are based in the different needs that the project has to meet. The needs are grouped in 3 general groups, the need of the people, the building and the context and here it’s when the troubles begin. Not always the 3 needs are similar, depending on the project and its purpose, but the architect’s job is to find the right way to solve the conflict of each need and the problem between them with his project. One important thing is that the needs change with time, so, no matter if the design process is beginning or finishing or in the middle, the people could change, the context could change and even the building could change too. The architect’s works are doing to gave satisfaction and meet the needs of the people, so an architect has to work with many aspect. An architect has to create spaces that have to contain installations such as electricity, water, air and other, these spaces must be peaceful to grant the comfort and the people safety and the building has to resist natural disaster if its required depending of the context. Besides, the architect has to have in mind the human proportions and scale, and work with it. The 3 needs influence the architect’s job. The building and the context should be seen as one and has to be as one when the project is concluded.

The architects have to take care of many conditions, needs, when they want to create a good and functional project or design, if not have in mind the needs, the project would be useless to the people and the context.
