  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.

 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.

 Cooper Union School of Architecture: Hejduk Publications   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Stark, astringent, and stunning—filled with vivid forms and sensous language—Soundings is an examination of architecture’s naked heart from a visionary in the practice.
Designed as a dictionary to read the architectural drawings that track a ten-year eastern journey from Venice and Berlin to Prague; from Riga, Lake Baikal, to Vladivostok on the Sea of Japan, this is the second volume of John Hejduk’s trilogy.
These projects are a new a approach to urban form—an intensive investigation of programs that are a catalyst for an architecture deeply concerned with the metaphysics of objects and subjects, and their associations with a place.
