How to build an architecture of any Programming Project? [closed]

Understand the requirements, both functional (the behaviour of the application) and non-functional e.g. performance, security, reliability etc.

Understand the constraints you're working within (e.g. technologies available, cost constraints, servers to run on etc.)

Understand the context - what other systems you might need to integrate with, who your users are, where they are based, what they need to do etc.

Then you need to produce a 'component' model showing what kind of functionality needs to be encapsulated together in which software components and what interfaces they present. This allows you to map out both the static structure of the inter-relationships e.g. inheritence / class design and also the dynamic behaviour (what talks to what when - e.g. using sequence diagrams).

Then you can move to designing the deployment architecture of which software components would sit on which hardware nodes, and hence map out network connectivity etc.

Much more, but there's a starter...
