The man made environment has a changing range and is not so stable it could change with the change of man him or her self. Sometimes the impact is so high on the design that it could mean that a certain design is good in one environment and a failure in another. Here we have to take into consideration and have the flexibility to change. This will allow the design to live longer.

  • - In architecture environment is the different variables that should be taken into consideration & effect the design. There is natural environment that consists of earth, sun, water, wind, & life. There is man made environments such as Political, religious, social, economical, & physical changes that could affect the design.

The natural environment has a constant range of change within a particular area, and has mostly direct impact on the design. The more these are understood and taken into consideration the more the design will be appreciated.

The man made environment has a changing range and is not so stable it could change with the change of man him or her self. Sometimes the impact is so high on the design that it could mean that a certain design is good in one environment and a failure in another. Here we have to take into consideration and have the flexibility to change. This will allow the design to live longer.
