bound to mismatch 
the trend of the market. 
Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that some types of buildings are broadly expected by the public to 
possess  aesthetical  values.  Standard  examples  include  restaurants,  theatres,  churches  and  so  forth.  A 
building falling in these categories desires a design of originality and 
rarity, 
aiming to distinguish itself 
from other constructions of its kind or those in its surroundings. Architects' inspirations add values to 
the building and increase its 
marketability. 
Many buildings have become 
symbolic 
in the city or region 
where they are located. 
When  being  concerned  with  the  aesthetic  aspect  of  architecture,  people  should  consider  economic 
feasibility. 
The focus on the exterior of a building alone will lead to the increase in construction cost, 
making such an endeavour 
unjustified. 
In those cities where overpopulation continues to be a problem 
and many people cannot afford housing, whether a building looks beautiful would not be taken seriously. 
In that situation, the 
rationale 
is to accommodate a huge population, rather than simply please the eye. 
Based on the arguments outlined above, adding visual appeals to a building is consistent with the needs 
of a modern society. However, it does not mean that the concern on aesthetics should be at the expense 
of a building's practical functions; on the contrary, a building should be the result of the 
delicate 
balance 
between the two ideals 
1.
 
integrate = incorporate = assimilate 
2.
 
ornamentation = decoration = adornment 
3.
 
bound to = set to = expected to 
4.
 
mismatch = fail to match or suit 
5.
 
rarity = uniqueness 
6.
 
marketability = profit-earning ability 
7.
 
symbolic = representative 
8.
 
feasibility = viability 
9.
 
unjustified = groundless 
10.
rationale = underlying principle 
11.
delicate = subtle = fine
