Architecture, like any other profession, has different kind of needs. The Architect finds himself between three important areas to consider when making a design, such as the people who is going to use or inhabit the building, the context where the building is being developed, and the structure of it. Also considering that this elements are very dynamic, so they change constantly.

When we talk about designing for people, the architect must consider a well distributed space that provides safety and comfort for the persons who inhabits it.

When taking in consideration context, architects must make designs that go with society's values and flows with its surroundings.

Also is very important to design a well structured building that can provide shelter from the elements and also that it could resist them in extreme cases, such as earthquakes, for example. The Building must stand on it's own and protect it's contain.

It's necessary to remember that these three elementes considered in architecture usually "crash" between them. It's up to the architect to balance them and make certain sacrifices in one area for the benefit of another, depending on the case the architect must decide which needs are more important.
