What is the role of context in architecture communication?

The role of context in architecture communication is significant as it helps to establish a connection between the design and its surroundings. Understanding the context involves analyzing the site, the surrounding built environment, and the cultural, social, and historical aspects of the place. This information not only informs the design process but also influences how the design is communicated to others. Communication of architecture requires clear language, visual representation, and with context, design decisions and intentions become clearer to clients, stakeholders, and end-users. Therefore, context plays a vital role in architecture communication and helps to unify the design proposal with the surrounding environment.
