The principles of good software design apply to all levels. In the same way that we want to write readable code, and for that we need to keep in mind the intention-revealing aspects of the code, the architecture also has to express the intent of the problem it is trying to solve.
All these ideas are interconnected. The same intention revealing that ensures our architecture is defined in terms of the domain problem also leads us to abstract details as much as possible, create layers of abstraction, invert dependencies, and separate concerns.
