Architects use location in building design in several ways, including:
1. Site analysis: Architects examine the location of the building to analyze its environmental conditions such as sun, wind, and topography which help to determine the structure's orientation to natural light and ventilation, and also the building's foundation.
2. Cultural context: Architectural designs are influenced by the culture of the region, religion or specific community, and architecture design should respect cultural references to that location to give meaning to the building design.
3. Urban and community planning: Architects must consider the location's urban planning and community needs in designing the building. The design should integrate seamlessly within the area to improve the city's function and aesthetics, as well as to create space for community activities.
4. Regional resources and materials: Architects use the specific material and resources available in a location to design buildings that are unique to that location. Designs that are specific and use authentic material are sustainable as they promote a reflection of the regions natural advantages.
5. Local climate: Architects use the location climate as a key element in designing the building. Light, heat and solar radiation should be taken into consideration to stimulate designs to accommodate the inhabitants of each environment.
