How many diagrams are needed to create the "Architecture"? 

Can any diagram qualify to be the Architecture? 

We have created 39 diagrams to describe the Architecture, how do we validate that these diagrams are sufficient? 

How do I ensure consistency across the diagrams if it is created by different team members? etc....

These are the common questions that we get to hear. Let's do a simple definition for architecture as suggested by John Zachman.

The Architecture is a 1.structured set of descriptive representations relevant for describing an object and being employed such that 2. an instance of the object can be created and such that the descriptive representations serve as the 3. baseline for changing an object instance.
