1. Climate Change: With global warming on the rise, architects are now under pressure to adapt their design to minimize carbon footprint and create energy-efficient buildings.
2. Urbanization: With the growth in population, buildings are now becoming taller, denser, and bigger, leading to a more significant demand for resources and energy.
3. Technology Advancement: The emergence of digital technology is transforming the way architects build structures. This requires architects to learn new software and design new types of structures that match the changing needs of society.
4. Sustainability: There is an increasing need to design environmentally-friendly buildings that can reduce energy consumption and be operated efficiently. Buildings now need to be built with sustainable materials, be energy-efficient and low-maintenance.
5. Demographic Changes: With the growing population of elderly people and people with disabilities, architects have to consider the need for designing buildings that are more accessible and accommodating to these groups.
6. Financial Constraints: Building requires a huge investment in terms of money, time, and energy, making it a costly venture. Architects have to balance this aspect while delivering quality and functional structures.
7. Safety and Security: With the rise of terrorism and crime, buildings now need to be designed to meet safety and security standards that can withstand natural and man-made disasters.
