We review a selection of observations in radio, hard X-rays (HXR) and soft X-rays (SXR) that constrain geometrical and physical requirements for solar flare models. Guided by observations of interacting flare loops we discuss a flare model based on shear-driven quadrupolar reconnection, which explains single-loop and double-loop flares in a unified picture. We interpret various observational findings in the light of this unified flare model: - topology and geometry of interacting flare loops, - localization of particle acceleration region, - scale invariance of electron time-of-flight path and flare loop geometry, - density and magnetic field diagnostic in acceleration region, - bi-directionality of injected electron beams, - electron beam trajectories and correlated HXR pulses, - bifurcation of directly-precipitating and trap-precipitating electrons, - density and magnetic field diagnostic of trap region, - elementary time scales and dynamics in acceleration region.
