Serious question: How much is architecture to blame for the climate crisis?

Have you ever had to alter an original design due to construction difficulties or budget overruns, yet never because it negatively impacted the environment? 

That is why we want to give our readers the opportunity to openly express their views on this matter. If we were fully aware of the environmental costs of materials today, or their potential future consequences, or the real, global challenges that arise during construction, would it change the way we select and create our designs? Would it be easier for us to advocate for our projects to others and fellow professionals?
