Difference between software architecture and design pattern

If you are like me, then time to time you wish there would be a site www.what-is-the-difference.com, where you could find the key differences between all two similar terms. Sometimes it's driving me nutts, when i know the deffinitions of both terms, but still i can't tell the difference.

Most of the times the benifit programmer gains is reduced complexity and scaleability. Hope this helps.
