Is the word arquiteta the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?
Yes.
The word is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammatical gender. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, vowels tend to be more open and the rhythm is more melodic; the unstressed "e" in "arqui-te-ta" is clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often reduced or almost entirely suppressed, making the word sound more "clipped" or staccato.
