Hi,

What is the difference between design patterns and architectural patter?

How they are different?

What are different types of Architectural patterns?

+5  A: 

Architectural Patterns are concerned with strategic aspects of a system. They have a global impact on the whole implementation of a system.

Design Patterns are concerned with technical aspects of an implementation. They have a local impact on specific parts of the implementation of a system.

Architectural Patterns are on a higher level of abstraction than Design Patterns.
