Concept in Definition ABC

A home is that physical space, generally a building, whose main reason for being will be to offer shelter and restThanks to the rooms that it has inside, to the people and everything that they will bring with them, such as their belongings and personal properties. When I mentioned the shelter, it was because the house, in addition to offering a space to rest and shelter our most immediate belongings, it also serves to protect us from inclement weather and some other kind of threat natural that can affect our quiet existence in case of having to live in the open and luck.

Since man has been a man, he has had this need to find a refuge for what we were saying, keep his belongings, have a good quality of life that is not affected by the physical health disorders that can come from having to live on the street and also, in those super primitive moments, to protect their family of the wild beasts that were loose. Generally the caves were the most used and common refuges of men in ancient times. The definitive settlement of the primitive nomadic peoples originated in the discovery of agriculture, first, and livestock, later. The need to reside in a fixed place immediately gave way to the development of the first permanent homes, different from the temporary shelter or the tent. The logical importance of water in people's lives precipitated the first permanent houses to be built near rivers and lakes.

On the other hand, although sometimes we pay more attention to other more trivial questions, without a doubt, The comfort, tranquility and protection that knowing that we have a home at our disposal will be vital when it comes to our future personal and professional development, since it is highly proven that, only in harmony, the human being achieves excellent results.

One of the great issues to take into account when it comes to building of a house will be the weather that characterizes and is observed in the area or region that we inhabit. For example, if we live in a place prone to high winds or hurricanes, the houses must be built from and following a series of essential requirements of safety and obviously with highly resistant materials to this type of context.

The same occurs with regions subject to inclement earthquakes, such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. It is not fortuitous to note that most of the first definitive settlements in history occurred in great valleys crossed by rivers, in which the resources essential (water, food, security) were easier to obtain.

In modern times, the predilection of people for the urban environment has motivated, on the one hand, the construction of more houses in less space, as with large buildings, but, on the other hand, a strong housing deficit is observed in most large cities of Third World. This phenomenon has precipitated a growth in precarious housing throughout Latin America, with special emphasis on Argentina and Brazil.
