"MINIX is an operating system designed for 'resource limited' or embedded computer systems. Versions 1 and 2 were teaching operating systems upon which the famous book, Operating Systems Design and Implementation, by Andrew S Tanenbaum and Albert S Woodhull, is based and also was the inspiration for Linux. With this latest release, version 3, MINIX aims to be a complete, stable, secure desktop operating system for everyday use. Does it live up to those claims? Read on to find out."

If you're looking at the overall architecture then maybe it wouldn't be the best place to start
Can you reccomend somewhere better, then? Right now, my primary goal is learning architecture.
If I ever want to create my own OS or work for someone else on theirs, I need to be able to understand architecture. If I know what I am doing, even if I write bad code to start, I can work on it it and improve it until it is good code; but if I can't see the 'big picture' to understand what my code needs to be doing, then all my work will be in vain.
