What role does sustainability play in architecture culture?

Sustainability plays a critical role in architecture culture as it has become increasingly important to design buildings that not only meet current needs but also ensure a sustainable future. Architects are now being challenged to create sustainable designs that reduce energy consumption, minimize waste, and utilize renewable resources. Sustainable architecture aims to minimize the negative impact of buildings on the environment and maximize their positive impact on society. It encompasses the entire life cycle of a building, from construction to operation and maintenance, and even its eventual removal or demolition. As such, sustainability has become a fundamental aspect of modern architectural culture, influencing design processes, materials used, and even the way buildings are designed and constructed.
