relating to building design
About how buildings are designed, built, or what style they have.
Модель употребления:
architectural [style/feature/heritage/landmark]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes say *"architecture style"* instead of *"architectural style"*. Use the adjective form "architectural" before a noun (e.g., "architectural style", "architectural detail") and the noun "architecture" alone (e.g., "modern architecture").
Синонимы
structural (Often focuses more on the physical support and engineering of a building, while "architectural" more strongly suggests design and style.)
Антонимы
nonarchitectural (Describes things that are not related to architecture or building design.)

relating to system structure
About the main structure or design of a complex system, for example a computer system or a large project.

Синонимы
structural (Used in many of the same technical contexts; "architectural" often emphasizes planned, high-level design choices, while "structural" can be more general or low-level.)
Антонимы
ad hoc (Describes solutions that are improvised without an overall structure or plan, the opposite of carefully planned architectural design.)

Антонимы
portrait (Refers to images focused on people’s faces or bodies, which is the opposite focus of architectural images that center on buildings.)
