Outline: Architecture is the general name of buildings and structures, and it is an artificial environment created by people to meet the needs of social life by using the material and technical means they have mastered and applying certain scientific laws, geomantic concepts and aesthetic laws. Generally speaking, buildings must meet three requirements.

(1) robustness. The built house must not collapse or be destroyed during use, and it can resist all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, that is, it requires firmness.

(2) Applicability. Building a house is for a certain purpose, to meet people's use requirements, that is, to apply.

(3) aesthetics. After satisfying the functionality and safety, the house should also pay attention to artistry.

, which is beautiful.

The above three points are also called the three elements of architecture. In order to meet the requirements of "solid, applicable and beautiful" houses, designers of various types of buildings, structures and equipment need to work together to complete the task. The rationality of structural design is directly related to whether the building is solid, applicable and beautiful. However, structural design is also directly related to the cost, that is, the economy of the building. Therefore, it is particularly important that structural design can be coordinated with architectural design.
