Architecture is the overall knowledge and vision that enables systems engineering, disciplinary or cross-disciplinary engineering, and other functions (production, support, etc.) to move forward and work together in a single direction.

The development of the latter is based on methods, techniques and modes of reasoning that differ from those of engineering, and on a certain number of concepts illustrated in figure 2. Where engineering is broadly a problem-solving approach, architecture is more a forward-looking approach to the elaboration of possible and plausible futures. Recognizing this difference, and the necessary complementarity between architecture and engineering, is a key factor...
