is the conceptual design that defines the structure and or behaviour of a system.
The structure of components, their interrelationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time
It is a representation because it is used to convey the informational content of the elements comprising a system, the relationships among those elements, and the rules governing those relationships.
It is a process because a sequence of steps is prescribed to produce or change the architecture, and/or a design from that architecture, of a system within a set of constraints.
