Сonsidering the complexity of this concept, it is nesecity to define boundaries of individuality. We can divide the Individuality into deep and superficial. Deep individuality is always multiple and generated by many factors with complexity of their relationships. Superficial individuality rather easy to understand, often generated by artistic or compositional factors as usual. Individuality relates to design and architecture in different way.
