A designer has the responsibility to design spaces that enhance human interaction; with their surroundings, with their community and with one another. As a designer of the built environment, I am interested in how a structure acknowledges the people it is made for and how it responds to its physical conditions. Doing this requires an understanding of the built environment as it already exists. Why are these structures here? Who inhabits them? What groups are associated with them? What systems have been put in place for it to be this way?
