I basically use the dictionary definition of "a style of
construction." The important distinction being between an
architecture and buildings built to that architecture. (I don't
remember what dictionary I found that in. It was 30 years ago.)
I would say that 90% of the usage in the field refers buildings,
rather than *architectures.*
For example, the 7-layer OSI model is a building, not an architecture.
Take care,
John
