Abstract Product architecture builds the base for product innovation. In contrast to the assumption of static modular architecture, the architectural evolution connects with both architectures per se and its environments. At present, yet we still lack an overall landscape for the product architecture evolution, and thus the purpose of this paper is to conduct a literature review from multi-perspectives as well as integrative framework. Rooted from the paradigm of “Context-Process-Content-Purpose”, we finished an examination of literature from multi-perspectives (design, strategy, knowledge, and decision), and a building of integrative framework. The results showed that, in the context-dimension, the product architecture evolution included three cases as intra-, inter-, and hyper-organization; in the process-dimension contained three types as intra-communication, inter-relations, and hyper-fusion; in the content-dimension covered four types as form-shifting, attributes change, construction change, and architectural growth; in the purpose-dimension included four cases as innovation strategy, product upgrading, R&D strategies, and sources of innovations. Moreover，comparison with multi-perspectives, the integrative framework exhibited systematic advantages, that is, wholeness, adaptation, initiative, and openness. Consequently, the future directions were raised anchored the challenges from multi-perspectives and framework, respectively.
