I don't think that architecture is the appropriate skill for looking for secret doors. Architecture is the art of creating useful buildings and spaces, especially in an artistic way. (My wife is an architect, so I feel that I have sufficient authority for talking about it in a gaming context.) It would have more to do with Per. The Search skill would be appropriate, I think.

One minor quip with the original poster: in GURPS (as in most systems) it's GM, not DM. It's no big deal, really, just a little pet peeve. When saying DM around the likes of GURPS players, you are automatically giving away your D&D experience, and not in a good way. Game on. :)
