We have architecture built for convenience of supply or resources, health and fitness, education, etc. These are all things around us. Therefore, simple things such as the interaction between a local school building and its neighborhood is undeniable. A great example would be the Richmond Oval. It was built for the Olympics on that location because of accessibility to the environment it is in. It is only a bridge away from the airport and Vancouver making it easy for transportation. It is close to water and energy. Also, it is in a good neighborhood available for health and fitness. All these factors in the environment were considered when this piece of architecture was built. Without these constituents, the Oval would not be as useful as it is now. Social Studies 10: Geography Review Package

They are built to adapt to the environment around it, allowing convenience when used. Materials used reveals the resources available in that local area. A good example of this would be the pyramids in Egypt. The pyramids are built out of yellow stone bricks easily found in that area.

Different societies and places will also have different building restrictions. All of these different reasons will affect and shape architecture in their own

    Architecture can be perceived as purely functional, although some, but certainly not all can be the esthetically pleasing, similar to the affect of any art form. It can also be an expression of cultural pride, societal passion, or national esteem (Ayers, 2007). Research supports the idea that architectural design and the structure of space, the number and spacing of windows, and lighting affect people. Furthermore, "architectural design has strong but modifiable effects on social behavior and users' mood and productivity and, to some extent, design features also affect health and wellbeing" (Ayers, 2007, para. 1). According to Joye (2007), "our surroundings influence not only the way we think but our intellectual development" (p. 305). Gestalt psychology suggests humans experience the influence of architecture as their brains have a proclivity to infer rhythm and patterns of space and structure, which influences behavior (Joye, 2007).…
