Note
The plural draws on the countable side of architecture. Where the singular can name the whole discipline, the plural points to distinct designs set side by side: building styles such as Gothic and Romanesque, or families of processors built around their own instruction sets. It is the form writers reach for when comparing or classifying, as in a survey of competing chip architectures.
