When designing a building, the most important factor is the intended use of the building rather than its outward appearance. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Construction industry

The construction industry

has become a booming one and received a great deal of public concern around the world in recent years.

Although

the outside beauty of a building is

an

Suggestion

a

relatively important factor to be considered when designing a new one, a building’s

function

should still be more highly valued than any other elements. On the one hand, it is true that

the exterior appearance

appearance

plays significant role

to

of

a building itself as well as its surrounding area to some extent.

First

, in an increasingly competitive market these days, a building with good-looking

appearance

will draw people’s attention and

therefore

induce them to pay a visit.

For example

, if a new commercial centre is erected with a structure of full-glass walls that displays a variety of

merchandises

merchandise

inside, people will have

to come over to make a purchase, thereby gain more profit for the owner.

Second

, the outside look of a building

also

makes

great contribution

a great contribution

to the scenery of its surrounding, especially in metropolises.

For instance

, unique structures in Italy act as an incentive for stunning landscape of the inner city, thereby attracting millions of people flock to for tourism annually and benefiting the overall economy of

this

country

On the other hand

, the planned use of a building is still regarded as a key factor to consider when

being constructed.

First

, since the chief purpose of erecting a building is to facilitate

the humans’ needs

, its

function

should be prioritized in order to accommodate people’s demands.

For example

, so as to improve the standard of living of city dwellers, a number of run-down areas in the

orphans

were demolished to make way for new high-rise apartments which are better to live in, even when those buildings are not designed in a magnificent

appearance

.

In addition

, many buildings

such

as well-known churches or museums had an unusual looking structure due to their special functions. These designs could not be judged in terms of

appearance

because

function

Suggestion

the function

is crucial, much more significant than any other factors. In conclusion, it is reasonable that the use of a building should be taken

priority

prior

to its outward

appearance

. I recommend that the significance of

a building will be increased in the future.
