Most architects do not use calculus. I would guess that very few even know what it is. Architects retain consulting engineers to design the structural, mechanical and electrical systems in their buildings, and even those engineers do not use calculus as a matter of course (Although, being trained in engineering, they are more likely to understand the concepts). Engineers do perform many calculations to determine the proper size and configuration of the various systems, but they normally base these calculations on standard formulas and published codes, and not on the direct use of derivatives or integrals. Insofar as the original formulas and codes may have been generated by calculus, you could say that the engineers benefit from from its prior use. Architects need only simple arithmetic for most of what they do. Of course, there are exceptions, ut it is a rare practicing architect who uses or even understands calculus.

How Business mathematics important to organization?
Business maths are mathematics used by commercial enterprises to record and manage business operations. Commercial organizations use mathematics in accounting, inventory management, marketing, sales forecasting, and financial analysis. Mathematics typically used in commerce includes elementary arithmetic, elementary algebra, statistics and probability. Business management can be made more effective in some cases by use of more advanced mathematics such as calculus, matrix algebra and linear programming.

Architects use the Pythagorean theorem to check distances, heights, etc...that cant be measured
Do engineers use calculus?
Yes, engineers don't only use calculus but they use it for almost anything. In your first year of engineering school you will take 2 calculus classes as well as use calculus principles in all your other classes. They use it to do the craziest things. In summary... YES! YES! YES!
