Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built: 'architectonic' (relating to architecture) + 'elegance' (refined beauty) yields the predictable meaning of refined or harmonious architectural design. This pattern is a straightforward semantic combination (and parallels formations in other languages), so a learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Architectonic elegance paints a picture of a building where every part fits like a neat puzzle, because architectonic points to building form and elegance to simple beauty. So, architectonic elegance means 'a graceful, well-structured design' in a building.
