Architect Corporation (natively as Architect Oyj and commonly known as Architect) is a Valkean multinational technology company based in Källalivi, Valkea. It designs, develops, and sells computer hardware, computer software, consumer electronics, and other related services. Its best known products are the Petal line of operating systems, the Rosetta smartphone, the Rosetta Tab tablet computer, the Mana family of video game consoles, and the Siren and Canvas personal computers.
The company was founded in 1971 as Architect Design Studio by two graduates of the University of Källalivi. Initially they were a small design house that created concept designs and mock-ups for portable radio sets and personal computers. By the 1980s they were receiving increasingly large amounts of dollars from the commissions they received from prominent tech giants. One of their most notable designs during this period was the PalCom Astra III.
After the acquisition of Valkean Electric’s electronics division in 1989, the company made its venture into the consumer electronics industry. After years of building custom computer units for select corporations, they debuted their first successful personal computer in 1993: the very first Architect Siren. The Siren sold quickly in its native Valkea, and saw mass adoption in foreign countries in 1995. Since the 2000s, it shifted its focus to the consumer electronics market and acquired several computer hardware and software companies.
Architect is the largest Valkean technology company in terms of revenue and market capitalization, and one of Astyria's largest publicly traded corporations. It is also one of the biggest electronics manufacturers in Astyria.
