out of necessity rather than something which is more than just physical elements.
Architecture should be something more than just function which are derived as pe
necessity. It should be combined of necessity and art to create involvement of its use.
Architecture should be designed in such a way that it evokes human awareness and
make users to understand surrounding. Today architecture has become too functional

architecture should be part of human experience rather than a place where things
happen.

involve elements which can generate a dialogue with human senses. To make
architectural experience memorable, one will have to relate with the senses. For that
