relating to building design
About how buildings are designed, built, or what style they have.
Padron ng paggamit:
architectural [style/feature/heritage/landmark]

Mga kasingkahulugan
structural (Often focuses more on the physical support and engineering of a building, while "architectural" more strongly suggests design and style.)

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

Learners may think this meaning is only about buildings. In technical or business texts, "architectural" often refers to the structure of systems, not physical architecture.
Mga kasingkahulugan
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.)
Mga kasalungat
ad hoc (Describes solutions that are improvised without an overall structure or plan, the opposite of carefully planned architectural design.)
