I would say that 90% of the usage in the field refers buildings,
rather than *architectures.*<br>

For example, the 7-layer OSI model is a building, not an

I'm interested to know what 'architecture' means to you both; I know
what<br>
_I_ mean by the term, but I'm not sure the field as a whole has a

well-understood meaning, yet.<br>
