Any insight on how this part happened? As a total layman, architecture strikes me as only 10% or so art in the painting sense of art. It could be more if you also consider e.g. software design to be an art, but at that point most things are art.

Yes, you're 100% correct, I do consider Software Development an art form (self expression).

I self expressed the most with drawings in my childhood, and I had this association in my mind with art/drawing/architecture.

In my late 30's I've taken to drawing again and consumed more architecture content to settle this matter in my head.
