What is the relationship between architecture criticism and the built environment?

Architecture criticism plays a significant role in shaping the built environment. Critical analysis and evaluation of buildings, spaces, and structures by professionals, experts, and public alike can affect the design, construction, and development of the built environment. Criticism can highlight the positive aspects and drawbacks of a building, and influence future projects to adopt or avoid certain design elements. It can also provide valuable feedback to architects and planners, enabling them to improve their design and construction practices. In essence, architecture criticism and the built environment are closely linked, with criticism shaping the future of what is built, and what is built informing the discourse of architecture criticism.
