How does it change in a sentence?

arkitektur is a common gender noun.

Sweden has a unique 'functionalist' tradition called funkis, which simplified arkitektur in the 1930s. This style prioritizes utility and light over ornament and remains a defining characteristic of Swedish cityscapes.
The word arkitektur is used in the Swedish expression social arkitektur to describe the planning of housing to encourage community interaction. It refers to social engineering through physical space rather than just building design.
Swedish often uses compounds to specify types of design, so you might hear about landskapsarkitektur to describe landscape architecture.
