Congrats on getting your shots published! When putting together your resume/portfolio, consider that those reviewing your portfolio are looking for skills that they can use. I would recommend adding these accomplishments to your resume only if you are willing to be a photographer for your next employer. If you want to keep photography your hobby, or for personal use only, it may hold back your architectural development by promoting that work in your resume. That being said, I don't think it would hurt at all to list photography as your hobby, noting that you've had your photos published.

thanks, and good point. could be better as a hobbies/interests line.

I'd add it, shows creative talent and also shows initiative in getting them published. I like that, makes you look like a go getter, which so many are not (as I learn more and more, most people are just lazy).

i think it is valid for a design resume. photography is similar to taking on a design problem and shows consideration for lighting, perspective, framing, and spatial perception - all skills that are directly translated to architectural work, esp presentation work. having your photos published demonstrates your sensibility for these things, which are good enough to be published, setting you apart.

also, i would only include if it's a significant publication. some event photos that you took that was included in the school newspaper or website to me might be considered padding.
