The principle and the context, two components of architecture, one highly popularised the other an unspoken underlying lore.
If we consider the principle, architecture is a shelter, a communion, a place for loving, learning, a place where we connect and seek comfort, security and insight. Context on the other hand can be considered as the site, the social setting, resource availability, economic conditions, climatic influences, sources of materials or cultural norms for example.
For design, we might say the 'magic' occurs in the meeting of these two integral concepts. Because how can we produce good architectural outcome if we don't carefully consider the two?
This idea i believe holds an interesting point not only in architecture, but i believe on all levels of society.
