I have never heard of this term.
Can you tell us the context in which you are asking it?

I believe it is the structure of HR Department, which will depend on the organisation and i dont think there can be a blanket solution on this.

I am eager to see the seniors on the site give further insight

As righly pointed out by our learned professional friend, for the first time, am hearing this word. There is Architecture in IT industry and Civil construction industry. It is only HR Structure, policies, procedures, framework, skills and competencies etc etc. Am an HR Consultant as well as a trainer for Indian and overseas organisations. I have helped startups. I can help your company in many ways. If interested, please get in touch with me. Am in LinkedIn with nearly 10 K contacts, plus youtube channel with 165 videos of my training. In fact, I will be delivering a five day training on Strategic Change Management for HR professionals in Dubai from 19th to 23rd November, 2023.

Best wishes

HR Architecture cannot be equated to be certain number of data sheets in Excel or a few pages of documents in Word, that can be so easily transferred. It would involve every part of the HR function like your HR Vision, targets, strategies, policies, SOPs, processes, evaluation methods, etc. They are organisation specific. The implementation of HR Architecture would depend on what you want to achieve, where you are now, the operations involved, the industry in which you are operating, your strengths, weaknesses, etc.
So, this cannot dealt like an academic question. If the question is part of coursework, then it is better to correlate it with any case study and try to reach your conclusions on the subject.
