Not sure about architecture but for engineering A-level physics is pretty much essential. I've never seen an engineering course not require maths, however depending on the sector of engineering some of them will allow alternatives to physics. For example, I am applying to electrical engineering and a lot of the top unis allow me to apply with computer science rather than physics. It is important to note though that if he doesn't enjoy physics then engineering probably isn't for him.

My mate just dropped physics and he wants to do engineering/archietecture? Did he make a bad decision?
Hi there,
At Cardiff Uni you can do all our Engineering Courses - Architectural engineering, Civil engineering, Civil and environmental engineering, Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering, etc. - without a specific need for Physics, the main subject that is specified is Maths.
Im a student here at Cardiff and love it. Our school of engineering is very highly ranked, and my friends who do it really enjoy it.
Hope this helps!

Hi there,
physics is definitely really useful for an engineering degree so if he still wants to apply for an engineering career or course he may want to do some supplementary studying on the side so we can get the best experience whilst at university.
In terms of whether or not he needs physics as an entry requirement for engineering, it definitely depends on the university and the type of engineering he might be studying. Some universities if you study maths and another maths or engineering based a level will let you apply without physics in some circumstances but it's definitely something to look into for your area as lots of universities do require physics.
Hope this helps
