What does a building design do?

Design, in a nutshell, is a solution to any problem. A good design, to add further, is an efficient solution to any problem. Building design refers to solving a problem, a challenge, of how buildings can function, and more importantly, function efficiently. The building design is a task that incorporates various aspects of society by a study into their need in a building design. Thus, the role of a building design is more than solving the problem of accommodation. It has to function as per the occupant requirements, much more like the requirements and context of the place it’s being built in. The role of building design is to add identity, comfort, and sustainability (not just in energy consumption but also in financial sustainability). It must be functional for occupants, pleasing to humanity, and grateful to nature.
