Please help Design a building that addresses a problem facing a specific region and people in Asia.
Asia is a very large continent with many different types of building needs. In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to outline the design of a building. You will choose where in Asia the building is located and what purpose it will serve. To better understand the needs of the people living at or using your building at your chosen location, you will research both the cultural and environmental conditions facing the society. Based on this research, you will then sketch and describe the main features that your building should possess.

In this assignment, you will do the following:

Choose a location for your building. You may choose any country in Asia, but make sure to specify where in that country your building will be located. For instance, you may wish to name a specific city or town, or specify a region such as the northeast section of the country. If you need help choosing a country, look at the list of Asian countries separated by region listed at the beginning of this lesson.
Research your chosen location. Find at least three references that describe the region and research both the culture of the people and the local environmental conditions.
Based on your research, decide on the type of building that should be built there. Your building should solve a problem that the people face. Perhaps the people need more housing, a school, or a hospital.
Decide on the major design features for the building. Sketch a three-dimensional view of the building and a two-dimensional blueprint of each floor. These drawings do not have to be to scale or labeled with exact dimensions. Make sure that your structure integrates well with the local environment. You may need to conduct more research to understand if the region is prone to natural phenomenon such as seismic activity, monsoons, or extreme cold.
To complete your assignment, write a 500-word essay that answers the following questions in paragraph form:

Where is your building located? Describe the culture of the local people and the environmental conditions of the region.
What problem/need will your building address? Describe the purpose of your building and how it will alleviate this problem.
What is the design of your building? Describe the details of your building, including its approximate size, shape, roof, and number of floors and rooms. Be as specific as possible. You should reference your sketches where appropriate.
What engineering challenges does your structure face? Identify at least two engineering challenges that are specific to the geography of your region. For instance, the area may be prone to flooding or experience frequently seismic activity. How does your design address these issues?
