Book Description
This thesis contains basic understanding of the roles of the architect and the developer in t he American real estate industry. The thesis concluded that roles the architect and the developer play in the development process are close related t o their incentives for entering the business, their motivation in work and the skills they possess. These elements al l together form the architect I s and the developer I s perceptions of their roles. Based on their own perception, both the architect and the developer redefine their performance in their actual practice. As a result, the actual roles played by most developers and architects are o f ten inconsistent with what is presumed by the real estate industry. In other words, there are discrepancies existing between the expectation and performance. The thesis proposes that the architect ural mediator, as one form of mediators, can facilitate between the developer and the architect in the development process and brings mutual benefits to both part i es. Architectural mediators in this thesis refer t o those architects who work for developer s and are actively involved in the decision making process and the management of the development process. A case study i s provided as one example of how such an architectural mediator functions in the development process.
Software Architecture: The Hard Parts

Book Description
There are no easy decisions in software architecture. Instead, there are many hard parts--difficult problems or issues with no best practices--that force you to choose among various compromises. With this book, you'll learn how to think critically about the trade-offs involved with distributed architectures. Architecture veterans and practicing consultants Neal Ford, Mark Richards, Pramod Sadalage, and Zhamak Dehghani discuss strategies for choosing an appropriate architecture. By interweaving a story about a fictional group of technology professionals--the Sysops Squad--they examine everything from how to determine service granularity, manage workflows and orchestration, manage and decouple contracts, and manage distributed transactions to how to optimize operational characteristics, such as scalability, elasticity, and performance. By focusing on commonly asked questions, this book provides techniques to help you discover and weigh the trade-offs as you confront the issues you face as an architect. Analyze trade-offs and effectively document your decisions Make better decisions regarding service granularity Understand the complexities of breaking apart monolithic applications Manage and decouple contracts between services Handle data in a highly distributed architecture Learn patterns to manage workflow and transactions when breaking apart applications

Book Description
Mediators? are increasingly seen as necessary actors in enabling and developing ?temporary uses? of vacant spaces ? such as adapting empty offices, hospitals or industrial spaces for artists, entrepreneurs or residents. Despite the recent proliferation of temporary uses in many cities of the Global North, they face complex challenges in practice.00The thesis investigates mediation as an example of architectural work moving beyond building design towards managing socio-politically engaged processes, as part of sustainable urban development.00As a cross-cutting finding, Hella Hernberg's thesis articulates three roles for mediators in temporary use: mediators broker the collaboration and partnerships between actors, negotiate structural conditions and build capabilities for temporary use. Overall, the thesis highlights socio-political aspects of professional work concerning urban development today. Hence, it provides relevant knowledge for municipalities and practitioners aiming to advance sustainable, inclusive and adaptable forms of urban development.
Building Evolutionary Architectures

Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
The software development ecosystem is constantly changing, providing a constant stream of new tools, frameworks, techniques, and paradigms. Over the past few years, incremental developments in core engineering practices for software development have created the foundations for rethinking how architecture changes over time, along with ways to protect important architectural characteristics as it evolves. This practical guide ties those parts together with a new way to think about architecture and time.
