This blog makes a comparison between architecture and software architecture and explains to people the similarities in the concept in them. In this, the word architecture has been used as a metaphor whilst we compare the two things.

[...] The true count for a swat depends on the observable elegance of a swat, the humor in it’s stances, and the amount of higher energy from the swattee redirected for grounding the swattee. If its a full redirect and no energy whatsoever needs to be channeled by swatter, the game is over and won by both. Example in Preventing creative constipation.

Using the word ‘architect” for different scopes is confusing indeed.
It’s a strange place I find myself in, not squarely defending ‘architect also implements’ .

Well said.

We need to get better at describing what sort of architecture we’re talking about – enterprise architecture (town planning) is different to software architecture (building design), and information architecture, business architecture, etc, etc are all different again. When we try to use the single word “architect” to encompass all these, we just confuse ourselves.
