FACTORS AFFECTING THE ARCHITECTURE OF A PLACE

FACTORS AFFECTING THE ARCHITECTURE OF A PLACE

THE FACTOR ARE:

• GEOGRAPHICAL : THAT IS LOCATION OF A TOWN/CITY. LOCATION IS ALSO IMPORTANT.

TO KNOW WHERE TO PUT UP THE STRUCTURE WILL HELP YOUR
DESIGN BE FUNCTIONAL AND ANTICIPATE PROBLEMS THAT WILL
OCCUR. example - BUILDING A RESORT ON THE BEACH.
• GEOLOGICAL : THAT IS THE SOLID FEATURES ON THE PARTICULAR PART OF EARTH
THE TYPE OF TERRAIN CAN ALSO AFFECT THE DESIGN OF THE
ARCHITECT AND THE ENGINEER. THAT'S WHY IT IS HIGHLY ADVISABLE
TO STUDY THE TERRAIN AND ADAPT THE DESIGN TO IT
SURROUNDINGS. 
example - BUILDING WITH PITCHED ROOFS IN COLD .
• CLIMATICAL :THAT IS WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING SUMMERS AND
WINTERS IN A PARTIICULAR REGION
IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE CLIMATE OF A PLACE THAT
THE ARCHITECT WILL USE FOR HIS CONSTRUCTION SITE.
example - IN THE U.S.A THEY HAVE COLD SEASONS, SO THEY USE
FIBERGLASS INSULATION IN THEIR WALLS TO KEEP IN THE WARMTH. 
• RELIGIOUS :THAT IS THE KIND OF GOD THE PEOPLE OF A PARTICULAR AREA
WORSHIP. THE TYPE OF RELIGION A COUNTRY IS INFLUENCED BY
AFFECTS THE TYPE OF STRUCTURE BEING BUILT. 
example - IN ANCIENT GREECE, THEY HAD A STRONG BELIEF IN THEIR
GODS AND GODDESSES, THAT'S WHY THEIR MOST MONUMENTAL
AND GRAND BUILDINGS ARE THEIR TEMPLES.
• CULTURAL :THAT IS THE KIND OF TRADITIONS THE PEOPLE FOLLOW WHEN BUILDING
STRUCTURES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER HOW, WHEN, WHERE, AND
WHY PEOPLE DO THINGS. WE MUST UNDERSTAND AND LEARN THEIR
LIFESTYLE IN ORDER TO MERGE THE CULTURE WITH THE STRUCTURE.
• SOCIAL :THAT IS THE SOCIETY NEEDS TO BE INTRACTING WITHIN ITSELF,
THEREFORE DESIGNING HAS TO BE SUCH PROMOTING SOCIAL INTERCTION
THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT WILL BE THE INTERPRETATION OF THE TRADITION
AND THE ASPIRATIONS OF THE LOCAL PEOPLE AND SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT
TO IMPOSE THE GOALS OF FOREIGN CULTURES.
IT SHOULD SATISFY THEIR PHYSICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, VISUAL, AND
CULTURAL AND THEIR SPIRITUAL NEEDS.
