These three areas often create inevitable conflicts between them. An architect must undertake to resolve these problems and achieve harmony between the three. The architecture needs are always dynamic and changing. The dynamic nature of architecture and need-fulfillment must always be kept in mind and planned for.An architect must consider costs, people who use the structures, purposes and uses of the building. **The customer needs:** an architect must consider the needs of the client, which can be physiological, psychological and sociological. **Needs of the structure:** This may include protection, weight, strength, comfort, roof, and distribution. **The context of the building:** culture, environment, economy, opportunities and connections.
