From conceptto completion the focus is always on the end user. According to Gutman, buildings are objects ofuse apart from being objects of pleasure [1]. Architecture is so essentially a social art that noarchitect can talk about his (or her) medium or about his (or her) schemes without reference tohow they will be used by people [1].
