I fully agree with Rockford Lhokta when says in his Appliaction Architecture Guide 2.0 post :

Architecture, in my view, is primarily about restricting options.

Or to put it another way, it is about making a set of high level, often difficult, choices up front. The result of those choices is to restrict the options available for the design and construction of a system, because the choices place a set of constraints and restrictions around what is allowed.
