The elements of architecture: the needs they meet

A quick and incomplete list:

• Organizational Clarity
• Imprintability - provisions for the user to imprint themselves on the building
  
• Completeness and continuous opportunity
• Place - responses to place, connections with place, embodiment of place, clarification and expression of place my place - the place.
• Having a wholeness of its own
• Utility - functionality and enablement
  
• Connection to the place around
• Connection(s) through time
• Beauty - Eloquence and elegance
