What is the difference between Design and Architecture?


These two terms are very diffused. How exactly do they differ?

Is there any real life example or scenario that can elaborate this difference?


Solution

  • In my understanding, design is more specific to one system. Two systems could have a similar design but share the same architecture.

    So a design defines how a chosen architecture is applied to the given requirements. (or something like this)

    But this is more a feeling of mine, so I'm interested in other answers ...
