First of all we have to consider natural conditions, for example the geographical area, climate and the structure of the ground. All these factors play a siginificant role in constructing a piece of art. Bearing that in mind, the mentioned aspect is linked up to the function of the building. Focussing on protection, order and representation we only see the inner circle of the design. However, there are more crucial elements in the planning stage. The use of the building is strongly connected with society and cultural requirments, like religon or the economic system. Combining all the provided criteria with each other we are able to constitue a program which creates the framwork of our edifice.
