You will probably find that it's not as easy to use Revit Structure for Architectural design though it should basically be possible. A lot of tools are available but I don't have a list readily available of the differences. Rooms would be one major tool not available in Revit Structure. You could also investigate the Building Design Suite 2013 which includes Revit 2013 which is all three Revit products combined (Architecture, Structure and MEP) which might be more like what you're looking for. Plus AutoCAD and other tools are available in the Suite. If you're considering Robot as an Engineering tool as well then the BDS Ultimate includes both Revit 2013 and Robot Structural Analysis 2013 along with some other great products like Inventor 2013 and Navisworks. If in the US you can find more information here: http://usa.autodesk.com/autodesk-building-design-suite/

I'd be interested to hear if anyone is using Revit Structure for architectural design too.
