Hi there, Peterbilt:
Assuming you mean Architecture as in design of the built real world environment, and not architecture of computer equipment, programs and so forth, your question has knocked on the door of a subject that could take more time and space than I have here.
In lofty, romantic terms the positive aspects of architecture would be the enrichment of man's experience of defined space. Realistically, every structure that man builds impacts or messes with the environment, whether lightly or heavily. Generally, architects are aware of this.
Consider this, in South Dakota, but really anywhere, that every square foot of earth's surface covered by solid, relatively impervious materials is a square foot of surface taken out of service as an absorptive element for rain water, space for vegetation, and so on. That includes highways on which Peterbilts run.
While architecture affects the weather, the weather affects architecture. Every enclosed space created by man creates a microclimate which needs management. Failure to adjust the climate within leads to eventual deterioration of the structure, and discomfort for the inhabitants and users.
This just scratches the surface, and if you are really interested, there is a universe of discussion elsewhere on this subject. With best regards, mitcorb -
Can you be more specific? Are you talking about being an architect or just having architecture (ie. not living in caves)?

Peterbilt:
Glad to help. But please don't take my one view on this. Avail yourself of other discussion on the matter.
Again, Best Regards
