This I would call systems engineering.

What I mean by architecture is more like the art of making a program, not how to do some calculations and putting messages through queues and the like.

When you build a building you combine engineering for making sure it will function to do the job and an architect to make the building appealing to the customer and surroundings.

I hope this will make it more clear, what I mean by architecture..
