Criteria for Good Design

Utility: Refers to its functions and it's usefulness to the occupiers.

Firmness: Refers to its ability to withstand testing and stress

Delight: Aesthetics, appealing to the users senses. It should have qualities that achieve beauty.


A good design should be creative and unique, and should take into consideration it's surroundings. The structure's environment should also affect the design in terms of function and aesthetics, as well as to some extent, it's structure.

For example, if you were designing a structure in areas where the residents were not earning as much, it would make sense not to build luxury facilities such as country clubs. This would be affecting the function.
