Purposes+of+architecture

As a lot of people do, I also believe that the architecture began as a shelter and because of the need of people to live a more sedentary life. However nowadays the purposes of each building goes way beyond, each one is diferent, and is that what has brought us the variety of constructions around the world and even one next to another. As the people started to see the arquitecture as a commodity and as a way to show status the houses started to get more magnificent, and as the growing of the poblation responding to the need of people to buy things that they need the malls were born. However it didn’t stop there, as humanity became prosper the commercial building started to compete with each other. And that is (from my point of view) why people make such a complicated designing and how they do so according to the clients needs.
