Can simple architecture prolong the life cycle of a building?

Yes, simple architecture can prolong the life cycle of a building. Simple architecture tends to focus on functionality, durability, and sustainability, which can result in buildings that are easier to maintain and repair. Additionally, buildings with simple architecture often have fewer complex systems and components that are prone to failure, reducing the need for expensive repairs and replacements. Simple architecture can also be designed to optimize energy efficiency, reducing the building's environmental footprint and operating costs over time. All of these factors can contribute to a longer lifespan for a building.
