Architecture as Science

Would you describe your design work and your modelling as rigorous? What does that mean? What separates a rigorous approach from one that isn’t? Do frameworks and models make our work more or less rigorous? Is software engineering at the same scientific level as other engineering disciplines? How could we improve this, if we wanted to? Where did the “science” in Computer Science go?
