These are my thoughts and observations on Architecture, Processes and Technology – and on curiosities that bring aspects of these disciplines to life.
If you must know how I see these three themes interplay and why I even bother, read on…
All three are enabled through disciplined Structure, but each one of them flourishes through judicious unstructured break-out of creativity and out-of-the-box initiatives. In a perfect world one would need to strive for a healthy mix of these two extremes. How do you find that balance? How do you keep the balance as the environment and the context change?
In a parallel quest, how do you get a perfect mix of the three disciplines to support any initiative – given that all three are needed for practical solutions and applications? For example, solving a problem largely in the Architecture domain will require Processes and Technology, and so on.
These two questions need to be addressed in any endeavor – not necessarily as a quiz question with a ‘perfect’ or a ‘correct’ answer – but as a means to bring out all possible facets of the problem and the solution and as an attempt to consider the whole as much as practical. Philosophy applied, rather than philosophy theorized.
