LIVING UPTO THE BUILDING

Surroundings have a definite impact on human behavior especially the built environment .In one way or the other the built environment makes him stay in the same good state every moment he is in it. It elevates oneself to a higher level automatically. It elevates his basic level of thinking, a better level of his actions, attitude on and on. Once he gets acquainted to it, he will never feel that it was not meant for him, instead he will start feeling better and better. He will never tend to get back to his old original environment once he likes it.
Let’s consider a person staying in a dull, dark, but a very comfortable, cosy home which makes him stay in the same old state whereas it doesn’t allow him to move to a higher level in any way. There is no meaning if a person stays in his own domain excusing himself saying it is comfortable. In the same case, if he shifts to a bright and beautifully built environment, he would definitely like it and when he starts liking it, he becomes used to it and cherishes it forever and that’s the healthy environment. If a person wants to be in his own comfortable environment why would he ever think of having a home, luxurious, larger in its dimension in comparison with his simpler, smaller one .Infact some dream about it and of course some have it as one of their lifetime goals. If a commoner is given a better built environment why would he not move to that place? He would definitely. These days people are forced to live upto their environment for that matter say an apartment , or in a mansion etc due to poor economy , or live in luxury in order to maintain their dignity amongst others thinking that it’s the display of their richness . Its not apt to say that they all hate to live there but they get used to it , whatever change happens to go to a higher level when it serves a better purpose. After all change and getting used to change applies to architecture too.
