Architecture Design

Architecture design refers to the process of defining the structural elements, organisation, and implementation of a system or building, in order to meet specified requirements and to achieve a desired architectural style or aesthetic. In the context of software or information systems, architecture design involves the creation of a high-level representation of the system, its components, and their relationships, to guide the development of the system. This can include defining the software architecture, hardware architecture, and network architecture. The goal of architecture design is to provide a blueprint for the development of a system that is flexible, scalable, maintainable, and meets the needs of the stakeholders.
