Architecture's most important elements are the materials and methods used in construction. Carefully selecting high-quality, durable materials can help reduce environmental impacts while creating healthier, longer-lasting buildings. Using good design, considering aesthetics and context, and mindful materials and methods allows architecture to meet people's needs and improve their quality of life. Vitruvius' principles of durability, function, and inspiring beauty still hold true today. Contemporary architecture, through innovative yet balanced design, can help build a better environment that puts people first.

1. Architecture’s most important elements
Materials and Methods
There is no denying we are in a climate crisis. Now more than ever, people want
to know where and how their buildings are being constructed, just like they want
to know if their vegetables are free of pesticides and if their steaks come from
cows living their best life. By carefully selecting the materials used, architects can
play a key role in the durability and lifecycle value of a building. By using high-
quality materials, there can be significant contributions to better buildings that
reduce the impact on landfills, create healthier spaces and help rejuvenate
ecosystems.
Today’s buildings and places should be built with purpose. With this higher
attention to detail, today’s buildings can improve the user’s experience and,
ultimately, their overall quality of life.
Conclusion
2. 2,000 years ago Vitruvius knew that architecture had to meet three basic
principles. His ideas still stand true today: what we build must be durable,
standing the test of time; it must function, meeting our needs and serving its
purpose; it must inspire, lifting the human spirit with a sense of beauty and
delight. By using good design techniques, considering the aesthetics of a building
and its context, implementing the right technology, and being mindful of the
materials and methods used in construction, contemporary architecture can help
improve the lives of people.
