When designing a building, the most important factor is the intended use of the building rather than its outward appearance. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (Real exam in March 10, 2018)

In this modern age, we have seen several buildings of different infrastructure all around the world. People argue that the most important factor which we should consider is that the use of building rather than its outward appearance. I am very skeptical of the idea that the outward design of building should present the eye catching view and it is also beneficial for the growth of economy.
On the one hand, most important factor is that when we design a building, is that building fulfills our demand or what’s our purpose? For Example, if we design a sketch of Hospital. We are all familiar with hospitals very well. All most every time the building is full of hordes of people. Intention of people not about its outward appearance but they focus on the basic needs which they require at that time. This example clearly illustrate that outward appearance doesn’t matters a lot as compared to the usage of building and for what purpose we use the buildings.
On the other hand, some people thought that the outward appearance of the building is beneficial in many ways. For Example, if we talk about the Bahria Grand Mosque which is at the number 7th in the world. Obviously, when buildings are given ranked at international level, outward appearance also matters. It is nature of humane when we see anything which present the eye catching view we automatically attracts towards them and this mosque is one of them. This example clearly tells us that by this way we can increase the number of tourists and it is very beneficial for the growth of economy.
In conclusion, Outward appearance of buildings should be extraordinary so that when someone looks at the building he looks like more curious about to visit that building. In this way the intended use of buildings increase automatically and it is also beneficial for growth of economy.
