TOGAF describes 'architecture' as the structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles guiding their design and evolution over time. This aligns with TOGAF's definition and context for architecture.
2.2 What is Architecture in the Context of the TOGAF Standard? ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010: 2011 defines "architecture" as: "The fundamental concepts or properties of a system in its environment embodied in its elements, relationships, and in the principles of its design and evolution." The TOGAF standard embraces but does not strictly adhere to ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010: 2011 terminology. In addition to the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010: 2011 definition of "architecture", the TOGAF standard defines a second meaning depending upon the context: "The structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time."
