An architecture is a fundamental layout of a system, its components and their relationships-connections to themselves and each other. An architecture enhances the process of system design.

Much of modern architectural motivation derive from civil engineering and structures architectures. Other engineering fields have benefited from the structures imposed by structural-architecture, more so in the field of computer engineering.

In recent years, computer software and services professionals have begun ti rely on architectural-discipline as foundation work in their craft, and deriving exponential benefits of scale.

Designing a complex system without a clear architecture of the system is akin to walking around in Manhattan, blind on Monday at noon and without a guide dog.

While an architecture results in a model, an Architectural Framework results in an Architecture.

In computer engineering and software engineering , several architectural frameworks have been defined, we will consider some of them at the end of this series
