it is more important for a building to serve its purposes than to look beautiful. Architects do not need to worry about whether it is a real work of art. Do you agree or disagree?

These days, it is believed that rather than the exterior design of the building, its core

function

is of paramount importance; so architects should not be concerned about its appearance/ aesthetical values

.

Accept space

I advocate that in many cases, it is essential to erect buildings which can meet both

and functional requirements.

To begin

with, the idea that the purposes of a building should be placed above its aesthetical values is not universal anymore.

This

is mainly because designers have integrated aesthetical aspects of the building with its core

function

to satisfy the comprehensive requirements of customers, while in the past, their interests only involved common functions

such

as safety or durability and ignored decorative details and visual qualities.

Therefore

, those old-fashioned buildings with ordinary functions is bound to mismatch the trend of the market.

In addition

to satisfying customers’ demand, some types of modern buildings are broadly expected by the public to possess aesthetical values. Sydney Opera house can be seen a typical example, which is considered one of the most famous and distinctive buildings in Australia. By virtue of its unique design,

However

Thus

Consequently

, building should be the result of the delicate balance between the appearance and the

function

of the building. In conclusion, in

Nevertheless
