Perhaps a good way to learn architecture is directly jump into it. Try spinning up a complex personal open source project. The first architectural problems you will encounter will occur once the first set of new non-original requirements creep in. You will notice: complexity and competing concerns. You will need to make hard decisions to reduce complexity to allow better scale into the future and balance to resolve competing concerns. Practice is a great teacher.
