The object of attention of this research paper is the human and the society. Specifically, it sets out to identify the needs of a human as an individual, as well as the needs of the society as a whole. It covers the period from the formation of humans as biological species to the present day, in order to identify trends in development that could shed light on the picture of society in the future. The ultimate aim of the study is to compare individual needs and the needs of the society, to identify both contradictions and potential opportunities. Due to the impossibility of addressing such a large topic in terms of content and complexity as the individual and society within the scope of this thesis, this paper does not aim to delve into each topic individually, but rather draws attention to such an integrated approach to architecture. Thus, at the end of each chapter follows a discussion of where the knowledge and capabilities of architects would be useful in the context of an optimistic scenario for the development of the society.
