Architecture develops a sense of social responsibility through awareness of the nuances of how much a society needs certain things. Buildings are determined by many factors and their outcome depends on the philosophy of social development. At this stage, we can say that globalization affects the architectural language of urban planners (Di Nunzio 381). In addition, the needs of the population, depending on the geographical position, differ, and then the workers adapt to the requests to express their social identity.
Architecture and responsibility are formed on the basis of the culture and beliefs of a certain time period. In modern society, there are sharp questions about improving the life of the population. Thus, modern civil buildings consider the safety of people and the health of the population with disabilities (Susseret et al. 4). Examples are residential complexes appearing on the territory of Bulgaria. They have equipped all the necessary facilities that make the disabled feel comfortable (Dimitrova et al. 4). At the same time, they can move independently and do not need the help of an outside person.
Another agenda that aims to combine architecture and social responsibility is education and student comfort. Children should be motivated to learn, which partly depends on external conditions, that is, the building of the institution (Rhomberg 145). This includes good acoustics, plenty of daylight and a good environment around the school. Some schools in Venezuela have included a health center in its buildings where children can get the help they need (Cardoso and Rehman 57). At the same time, a separate entrance has been worked out, so that the students do not feel awkward and there is no queue around the building. Thus, social responsibility in architecture plays a paramount role that satisfies the needs of society.
