Yes, architectural ordonnance can impact the building’s fire safety measures. The design and layout of a building can affect its ability to prevent, detect, contain, and extinguish fires. Building codes and regulations include requirements for fire safety features such as fire escapes, sprinkler systems, fire doors, and smoke alarms. Architects must take these factors into consideration when designing a building to ensure that it meets these standards and provides adequate fire safety measures. However, it is important to note that following building codes and regulations alone is not sufficient to ensure fire safety and that additional measures may be necessary based on the specific risks and needs of the building.
