Abstract

Built environment created by man influences him in variety of ways. It may influence him psychologically and physically. Man made environment should be rich with aesthetic as well as functional aspects. When aesthetic aspects are fulfilled environment will be rich with beauty, harmony and rhythm. When functional aspects are fulfilled it leads one to his destination and also expresses the relationship to physical context, and the purpose of the building it is built for.
