I think the architecture of Apple's Mac hardware is x86 and used to be PowerPC but I'm not 100% sure.

I said stupidities above. I think you meant Software Architecture. In this case, Wikipedia says "The software architecture of a system is the set of structures needed to reason about the system, which comprise software elements, relations among them, and properties of both." and here is an image of the Mac OS architecture (again from Wikipedia): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/Diagram_of_Mac_OS_X_architecture.svg
