The architectural variables (shape, function, and durability) and their impact in the architectural design to guarantee the design efficiency

Abstract

This research, by analysis, deals with the importance of durability, aesthetic, functionality, and the various opinions in this regard. These principles, with their aspects, concepts and formations, are as a deep and large sea for philosophers and thinkers. They tried to explain them and determinate them with standards and signs, despite the complexity, such the architects who proved that these principles are part and parcel from the thing, and they stuck in the mind of the recipient to embody them materially and remarkably. A field study was conducted by establishing a questionnaire and selecting a sample of architects, with various interests and experience. Then, the collected data were analysed, and the final results were extracted, in a way that enhances the importance of each variable to achieve the optimal design.
