What's the difference between Architectural Patterns and Architectural Styles?

Question

In Software Architecture - Foundations, Theory and Practice, I can find definitions for both. The problem is that I don\'t get what each one of them means in plain Engl

Answer 1

Architectural Patterns – define a general set of element types and their interactions. Examples of Architectural Patterns include Pipes and Filters, Model–View–Controller, and Reflection.

Architectural Style – the term was coined by Garlan and Shaw, it is an idiomatic pattern of system organization. For example, a client–server system is an architectural style.

p.s : Many of the original architectural styles have been reformulated as patterns.
