  Origins of Software Architecture Study
Although the term architecture is still used today in some communities to refer to the user view of a system, it isn't what is meant by software architecture, which refers to the structure of the system quite hidden from the user.
However, the notion of architecture as a common description of a class of systems -- i.e., an abstraction, where all the instantiations are said to exhibit the architecture -- endures, and is at the heart of the concept.
Work in software architecture can be seen as attempting to codify the commonality among members of a program family, so that the high-level design decisions inherent in each member of a program family need not be re-invented, re-validated, and re-described.

In addition to this diversity, the architecture of the new museums responds to the delicate surroundings and does not fall into the temptation of "monumentality," while at the same time establishing a dialogue—always in a light and discrete manner—with an environment in which fragmentation and minimal intervention are the most typical characteristics.
Accordingly, the architecture is discontinuous, broken, as is the city of Stockholm, always respecting and incorporating a geography rich in accidents to which the architecture adapts, creating a picturesque and lively atmosphere that is, fortunately, never artificial.
Of critical importance in the making of an architecture with these characteristics that simultaneously serves the required program is the form of the exhibition halls—a key element in a building of this type.

 Essays on Software Architecture
Effective use of architecture as a means to reduce and manage system complexity appears to depend rather heavily on the use of prescriptive architectures, that is, architectures that serve as specifications for system development and constrain developers with regard to certain important system issues.
Architectural views for a reference architecture will identify the external and component level interfaces by specific details where known and by abstractions where they are determined by target system elaboration.
The architecture must clearly derive from a set of driving architectural requirements that are adjudged by the architects and other stakeholders to be of sufficient importance to the system and its qualities that specific architectural mechanisms are required to insure their coverage.

 ArchitectureWeek - Design - Mockbee Southern Genius - 2000.0823
Mockbee eschews the humble title of teacher, even though he is a full professor at Auburn University's School of Architecture, Design and Construction and has been a visiting professor at Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, and a half-dozen other architecture schools.
He insists he's no artist, either, despite the fact that he is an accomplished painter and draftsman with a one-man show ("Samuel Mockbee: The Architecture of the Black Warrior River," September 9 through October 21) at the Max Protetch Gallery in New York.
But he feels comfortable with people calling him an architect, and not because he was the only one represented twice at this summer's Cooper-Hewitt/Smithsonian Institution National Design Triennial, or because he received the National Building Museum's Apgar Award for Excellence in 1999, Record Houses Awards in 1997 and 1992, and several honor awards.
