Living up to a building

Should a building need living upto?

This is a question that cannot have a straight or a direct answer.

One cannot generalise and say that every building should be lived upto or not.

There are buildings that need living upto and some that do not.

For instance, one's house... or home...

Home is a space that allows a person to be his or her true self.A space where one can connect with oneself and drop the masks one puts on at other places. A space like this should not need living upto.

However...when  buildings such as an office, a place of religious importance, a university etc are considered, it is important that they are lived upto.

So much said about living upto a space or a building...what do we actually mean by the term?

Living upto a building need not be adapting and getting used to the physical changes, for those happen everyday and while they do require "getting used to" and "living up", I think living up to a building in true sense is living upto the spiritual environment it creates.

A great institution embibes in a person a sense of pride and the drive to do well, a religious structure causes a different spiritual experience and these force a person, voluntarily or involuntarily to live upto the structure.

Thus, a building needs living upto depending on the purpose it serves. it would be wrong to say that every building needs living upto or that no building does.
