Sustainability plays a crucial role in architectural representation as it guides the design process and decision-making, ensuring that the environmental impact of the building is minimized. Architects must consider the ecological, social, and economic factors of a building's life cycle in the design phase. This includes considerations such as energy efficiency, use of sustainable materials, waste reduction, and effective water management systems. Also, architects must communicate these sustainable features visually in their designs through drawings, plans, and visualizations, to help clients understand the value of sustainable design and make informed decisions. Therefore, sustainability is an essential aspect of architectural representation, and it should be integrated into every stage of the design process.
