Architecture is architecture, only architecture, design and construction. But its very broad and varied scope of interest allows the project designer to conduct (their) own research and apply (their) method to wider areas – the design of entire cities and landscapes, of buildings, of internal spaces, of objects of use and furnishing, of jewellery.

— It's this breadth and untethered but wide-ranging relationship to society and psychology that unites web design and architecture. There is a tremendous freedom of expression that has to be brought into balance with the social, psychological and cultural contexts of the groups using both digital and physical architecture.

I have always had difficulty in defining the boundary between plan and project. When I am commissioned to draw up a plan, the incomprehensions arise right at the time of drafting the contract.

This is relatable when applied to web design. The choice of perspective and approach gives way to an arrangement that is to become the solution, which may be described as program or concept. It's challenging to prevent the study of a problem from becoming the foundation for a holistic, coherent solution – emerging organically from analysis. often, this process is artificially broken up by commercial procedures (negotiating a budget, defining scope) or ceremonies (narrative requirements of presentation).
