Architecturally Significant Requirements

Okay kiddo, so you know how when grown-ups build houses, they have to make sure they build the house in a way that's safe and will work well for the people who live in it? Well, when grown-ups build really big and important buildings, like hospitals or big office buildings, they have to do the same thing but even more carefully.

One of the things they have to think about when they're building these super important buildings is something called "architecturally significant requirements." That's a really big grown-up word, but all it really means is that there are certain things that are really important for the building to work well and keep people safe.

For example, they might have to think about how many people will be in the building at once and make sure there are enough doors and emergency exits for everyone to get out quickly if they need to. Or they might have to think about how much weight the building can hold, so they build it with strong materials that won't collapse if something heavy is placed on top.

Basically, architecturally significant requirements are just a way for grown-ups to make sure they're building super important buildings in a way that will keep everyone safe and make sure the building can do its job properly.
