Needs

A building will be considered as good, if it fulfills a set of needs, not only relating to people, but also to itself and its context. The particular aspects will change according to the requirements of the client and the purpose of the building, but they are always fastened to a set of universal principles that make a space agreeable.  A building must be designed to satisfy the tastes of people, their desire to feel comfortable and to make a sense of belonging towards this space. It must have strong structures to support its own weight and to stand the conditions of nature. And it must relate positively with the place where it`s built. Finally, it must be economically viable and not destroy the environment.  To combine this variables is not an easy work. Frequently, an architect will be forced to diminish the relevance of one of them in favor of the final project. This is what make architecture such a changeable discipline. There is no way to establish definitive formulas for it.
