## Architecture Elements [#architekturelemente]

Under Architecture Elements you will find a list of all architecture element types available for your Process Space. Click on the respective architecture element type to display further information about it.

The types correspond to the ArchiMate® 3.2 specification.

The "Architecture Element" type itself is an exception. This is a Bpanda-specific type. It serves as an abstract building block that can be specialized subsequently in various architecture layers in order to map concrete structures or behavioral aspects.

Click on the checkbox to activate the respective architecture element type for your Process Space.

The following are activated by default:

- **Architecture Element**
- **Application Component**
