Architecture integrity is crucial to ensuring safety in buildings and structures. When the architecture is not sound, it can lead to structural failures, collapses, and other hazards that can be extremely dangerous and even deadly. For example, if a building's walls, floors, and foundations are not designed and constructed correctly, it can lead to structural weaknesses that compromise its ability to withstand strong winds, earthquakes, or other natural disasters. Similarly, poorly designed or constructed elements such as stairways, ramps, and railings can present significant tripping, slipping, and falling hazards. Therefore, architecture integrity plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of people who live, work, and interact with the built environment.
