What Is rchitecture is everywhere. Each and every building: home,
school, office, hospital and supermarket were designed for their
Architecture ? Aand in turn the environments they form and the neighbourhoods
particular purpose. It is of vital importance that these buildings,
and cities they are a part of, are designed to be the best possible buildings
for their specific context, use and the people who use them.
Architecture has the ability to materially affect outcomes: it can affect
the way we relate to each other, increase business productivity, support
communities and neighbourhoods, improve health, and even decrease
crime.
Architecture also has the power to inspire and delight – it can enhance
everyday experiences.
There is no one-size-fits approach in architecture, each building project
should respond to its very unique context: site, climate, social, budget
and materials.
Buildings also need to be able to age well, to adapt to changing
requirements and have exibility to accommodate various uses. They
also should be built sustainably, in both the materials that they use during
EXPLAINATION construction, and the energy resources that they require to function.
