Summary/Abstract: An architectural approach centred on anthropological aspects focuses on the users, attempting to respond to their needs through the architecture. Yet this kind of approach does not start merely from knowing the needs of users but especially from the in-depth understanding of the realities and problems confronting the stakeholders, the values and identities they assume, their way of life, the aspirations and relationships they develop or would like to develop with others, etc.
