ADOW ASES HT Light and shadow play an important role in architecture design. Currently, there are height regulations and building codes that control architectural design to give out better living quality for people. The main goal for architects is pursuing a healthy and safe living space for humans. However, without the building regulations, architects might just focus on their own clients and forget their surroundings, which affects the neighbor’s living

Step 3 regulation and coding is just the basic rule for architecture design. A good architect is able to break the mass and create different spatial experiences for visitors. Building mass for architects is like a blank canvas for painters. In this stage, architects can give these masses some accent. Visitors might have different interpretations from the architect but architects can still use space to advocate their philosophy.
