"Social architecture is a field which looks at how to engineer social systems and media tools (sometimes synonymous with Web 2.0) and UX strategy in order to create any type of online entity." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_architecture

Social architecture is a method of taking apart the components of social interaction and using them to understand how processes of sociality are created, interact and emerge over time, and how different systems of socialization lead to different outcomes. The social architecture of one situation might be very different from another.Social architecture looks at why that is. Social architectures are created during software and website development, how one socializes on a website, or is allowed to socialize on a website.
