Factors influencing architecture and vernacular architecture    Factors that affect architectural design   Each project has a different set of requirements, limitations, challenges, and opportunities that affect a project’s cultural, environmental, technological, and aesthetic contexts. The 10 factors presented below are among the most influential.  CLIENT Some clients have a clear idea of a program, budget, and other project objectives, including the final appearance of the building. Others look to their architect to help them define the project objectives and to design a building that meets those objectives. In both cases the effectiveness of the relationship between client and architect is a major factor in making and implementing design decisions throughout the project. PROGRAM All clients have a series of aspirations, requirements, and limitations to be met in design. The program provides a place for identifying and delineating these fac...
