Abstract
Needs are the cause of human activity. They determine the functions and features that the architectural form is created for. Environmental needs accompany any human activity and give the architecture the characteristics in order to meet one’s needs at three levels: 1. Biological needs to protect a person during activities that make them more vulnerable – sleeping, eating, raising children, preserving food. 2. The social level uses territorial behaviours that express a person’s affiliation to a certain group or place, that juxtapose them with other groups. Location, composition, visual accessibility or security in architecture and the object-spatial composition are dictated by the importance of an individual or the society. 3. The need of self-realisation is satisfied by the opportunity to regulate the opening and closure of the personal space. The relation between the surroundings of a person and their environmental needs, and in consequence the occurrence of emotional reactions, make the architectural environment a rich palette of impressions.
