From Merriam Webster on line:
-ure : act : process <exposure>
From which we can
A) derive the verb architect on the analogy of expose>exposure
and
2) define architectorture to be the act of being an architector.
The study of architectorture sounds like torture to me.

Well, an architectorturoustrix anyway. A hooker with good but somewhat painful moves, I'd have thought ... there'll be a law against it, no doubt ...
The idiot also known as Capfka ...

I'd expect her to build a solid case in her defense, though. And she'd be really good at selling her points.

Sure, architector = architection...all part of the ongoing process to make everything an artless enterprise. Art is passé, a dirty word. Dilute it, exterminate it...take the music out of the schools, make an architect a glorified contractor. Art is dangerous, it doesn't fit the plan of power anymore. The last vestige of free-thought. Art and culture was once looked upon as a requirement to earn prestige as a great nation. Now certain forces deem art's extermination as part of their agenda's expediency.
Jazzo, I hope you become a great architect...don't you settle for less!

The problem being when architects, in thinking of their creations as art, forget that they are also supposed to be buildings.

that lovely lad from Loveland
Wonderful alliteration!
And, um, couldn't it be said that someone who puts together something like, oh, for example a word site, is an architexter? (Naming no names, of course...) <eg>
