Organization and Architecture:Two words with very different meanings.

These two words (Organization & Architecture) have different meanings: Organization as defined by Princeton: a group of people who work together. Architecture as defined by Princeton:  the discipline of dealing with the principles of design and construction and ornamentation of fine buildings. If OA-OE.COM combines these two definitions then Organization Architecture could be defined as: the discipline of dealing with the principles of design and construction and ornamentation for groups of people who work together.

We will accept this over simplified definition of organization architecture and allow the content assembled in this section to help define it further. Beginning with the following video from the design consultancy MAYA's visual definition of architecture.
