What is common between Architecture and Web Development

horizontal study is a approach of understanding some area of academia or any random topic by linking it to the broader picture through similarities and analogies. technically i have been a student of architecture for the past 4 years and to be real honest i wasn't really very deeply interested in architecture in general but I have always been fascinated by it and the methods of design and philosophies such as modernism, post modernism, bahaus and what not. and Frank Lloyd wright is among the top of my list of people who have inspired me. but architecture is a very slow moving field ..and this is the reason which never created much of passion in me for it. but these 4 years have surely instilled an artist in me..an artist who sees things in his own ways..slightly delusional maybe...but what really drives me and what really fascinates me is internet,.it is connected humanity..its accessibility and power is its beauty...
    but architecture(constructing buildings from scratch) and web development have striking similarities..
html -  the structural skeleton on which supports the building
css-  the facade beautification using modular or conventioanl  techniques
client side programming- services which are used by the users such as electric point, interiors
server side programming- backend of the services such as sanitation etc
