Shouldn't we add the C4 approach by simon brown to the building blocks?

C4 = context, containers, components, classes

IMHO, if you are not experienced with the building blocks, this approach is really helpful -
level1 = context
level2 = containers (deployment units like .wars and .jars, filesystems, databases)
level3 = components
level4 = classes

A "mapping" explanation could be helpful...

imho C4 mixes different things (esp. deployment and static code structure), whereas arc42 clearly separates those. The "containers" are something that imho should be treated seperately...

that is true - Ievel 2 nearly looks like a deployment diagram.
In some examples, he also adds too much detail for my taste - like port numbers...
But I can't think of a better structuring parameter for level 2...
