Architecture is the organization of a system's major components and the relationships of these component's to each other and to the whole, and how such an organization and/or its development is viewed or modeled. The first definition applies to the product itself that is, any product with sufficient complexity and sophistication. An automobile has an architecture: the chassis holds the body of the car and the engine; the axles transfer the movement from the engine to the wheels that, in turn, together with axles, support the chassis; and so on. The second definition applies to the development approach and characterizes how the product is viewed and/or modeled throughout the stages of its development lifecycle: conceptual, logical, physical, implementation, and deployment. Depending on the author and methodology, architectural views are described differently: owner's view, architect's drawings, architect's plans, contractor's plan, and so on. The basic concept, however, is the same: information systems and applications have an architecture and their development should follow an architectural approach.
