In building terms
Architecturally describes something in terms of building design or structure.
A house may be architecturally significant or a neighborhood architecturally diverse.
The word extends to any complex structure: software can be architecturally sound, meaning its underlying design is solid.
Architecturally, the plan makes sense, but the budget doesn't.
