Can anyone give one example of nonfunctional requirements and how it influences architecture design?

Here are a few... System response time. System up time. Supported concurrent users/connections (typically per second). All of these impact how you partition your application, scale your hardware, and design your network/application topology. Response time has a lot to do with application and database design. System up time has a lot to do with operating system stability, writing code that is memory leak free, and handling security and threat issues. Concurrency is typically about network bandwidth and layout, how your application uses object and connection pools, and whether you need to implement caching or maintain user state.
